Paul Newman, Aldwyn Hogg Jr., Peter Lutek - [end of second piece]

Full review to follow. Local "improvised bonanza" Audiopollination likes to mix and match musicians who have never played together, an idea that might have found its apotheosis in its "self-curation" project, where musicians program themselves into new, recombinant performance units. The night opened with veteran reedsman Newman and Lutek matched with pianist Aldwyn Hogg Jr., who began the set a bit tentatively but was soon generating some back-and-forth that sounded as informed by contemporary classical music as any school of improvisation you'd think of.

[As always, you can listen to the whole night over at Audiopollination's bandcamp. The next Audiopollination, another night of self-curation, takes place Tuesday (October 14th) at Array Space.]
