Monday I’m hosting Myriads #22 already, at Helicopter, with the two tenor duo of John Dikeman and Dirar Kalash, snare attacks by Japanese drummer Ryosuke Kiyasu, and I’m playing a set with Leo Svirsky myself. Hope to see you!

Playing at OT301 twice this week. Tomorrow in a trio with Jonathan Nagel (double bass) and Tristan Renfrow (drums). Friday next week a duo with the one and only Maria Mavridou. Both as part of the Freakatoni Witchy Weekends, which are part of Katie Duck’s improvisation summer course.

Review by Ken Vos in Jazzism 3 – 2018 of the Fading Ground cd. In dutch; loosely translated: “The album has the character of a work in progress that holds a lot of promise and sounds intruiging, but also has quite some unpolished sides. This production is already of historical importance.” Nice!

Tomorrow at the Living Village Festival, with Maria Mavridou .. another chapter in our ongoing trip. Can’t wait! And if you’re at the festival, drop by and say hi!

Tomorrow another adventure in an ongoing trip with Maria Mavridou. At OT301, see https://www.facebook.com/events/1923647911279410/ for details!

Sunday Leo Svirsky and I play another duo at the Grondwater festival, at Studio Loos in Den Haag. Great line-up with interesting artists based in Den Haag.

Finally two live shows with Josué Amador and Dirar Kalash, the trio that recorded the Fading Ground cd. Thursday at Helicopter, together with Sweat Tongue and Zad Kokar, and saturday at City Art in Den Haag, with Sho Shin duo. Can’t wait to finally play live with these guys!

This sunday a duo set with Leo Svirsky at the 2018 edition of the mighty SOTU Festival, at OCCII! Always fantastic to play with Leo, and the SOTU festival is always great, so this will be a special night, hope to see you!

Saturday at SUP Impro in Amsterdam, another improvisation with Maria Mavridou! Also playing is Qualm! trio. All info here, drop by if you’re around.

Thursday is MYRIADS #19 in Helicopter. With Qualm!, Haddow, and Tony. Groovey free jazz noise, improvised explorations with accidental acoustics & electronics, and a percussive performance with found objects and electricity.

QUAM! is a new Belgian/French trio operating on the border of free jazz, noise, and groovey things. Bass, drums, and an electronically enhanced trumpet by Farida Amadou, Tom Malmendier, and Timothée Quost. They just recorded a record for Colin Webster’s Raw Tonk Records so there you go.

HADDOW is a persona for improvised exploration of home made instruments, hardware processing and accidental acoustics. Jagged rhythm and instinctive voice build and crumble forming a primal sound between beat and drone.

TONY Guarino is a percussionist from NYC who is currently living in The Hague. He is interested in exploring the instrumental potentials of found objects and materials through improvisation.
