TIME IS… LATER?

Unfortunately, The Omniversals‘ Big Blow-Out with jazz legend Gunter Hampel, originally programmed for May 23, has been postponed to a later date. We’ll keep you informed about further developments on this page.

The legendary jazz composer, bandleader, vibraphonist, bass clarinetist, flutist, baritone saxophonist Gunter Hampel is one of the most influential musicians, composers and pioneers of the world wide jazz evolution. He is the major investigator of the European jazz movement since 1958, and when he moved to New York in 1969, the album „The 8th of July 1969“ with Gunter Hampel – Anthony Braxton – Jeanne Lee – Willem Breuker – Steve McCall formed a new jazz era as a timeless new model for future jazz to come and still stands out today as a new way of improvising even beyond free jazz.

BALLHAUS PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG

The May 2nd gig at The Ballhaus was like bottled lightning! What a shame that the attendance was so sparse, especially after recent performances with Sun Ra alumni Sabir Mateen (see below) and Randall Murray were packed to the rafters! Don’t forget to spread the word…and if you didn’t like it, send your NME’s…
