Coming to everybody's favorite rock and roll dive, the almost world famous Stork Club:
TRANSMISSION is the avant groove jazz band fronted by sax player Colin Stetson. Colin has performed on the David Letterman show, and he and bassist Eric Perney have appeared on numerous CDs including the Tom Waits CDs "Alice" and "Blood Money".
Colin now lives in New York, so this is one of those rare semi-annual shows for the Transmission Trio. This will be their only Eastbay show this trip.
Transmission Trio and Transmission Quintet (adding guitarist Roger Riedlbauer and trumpeter Ara Anderson) will perform on this show. You've GOT to catch these guys if you want to hear some of the best jazz performers anywhere. Seriously.
Opening for Transmission is/are the BOXCAR SAINTS, a bluesy band fronted by Dave Hudson (recently profiled in a cover story in the SF Weekly) singing about hard life experiences in the Midwest. (And you think you've had it rough...)
Quotes about Transmission:
"...Theirs is a swaggering, unruly gait; a mini-Mingus band, blues and roots and lord knows what else." -- BBC
"...Transmission blows audiences away with high energy music that nearly defies description."-- The Current
"Transmission Trio's avant-garde fusion of improvisational or "free" jazz, hip hop and rock reeks of uber-cool, smoke-filled lounges where well-cocktailed cats and kittens talk art, existentialism and other such heavy things." --SF Examiner

Re: Transmission Jazz with Colin Stetson THIS Saturday 2/4/06
Thu, February 2, 2006 - 6:19 PMthis sounds sorta cool.
I find myself turning to 103.7 more and more often as I get older and the radio gets worse.
But I dunno if it would be my crowd and I know I could never get any homies to hit this up. lol

I'm goin! +1
Sat, February 4, 2006 - 7:24 PMif anyone's looking for something to do last minute, PM me and we'll meet up, I'm going +1 earlyish, probably around 9. These guys sound great and an evening of blues and mutated jazz at the Stork Club sounds right up my alley.
