from herb levy:
I hope that you'll come hear Other Art's final concert for the season, the Gravitas Quartet.
The members of Gravitas Quartet (Wayne Horvitz on piano, cellist Peggy Lee, trumpet player Ron Miles and bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck) each have notable experience in both classical and jazz music and composer Wayne Horvitz has created a unique repertoire for the band that combines a chamber music approach with room for improvisation.
Horvitz has composed for Kronos Quartet, the Seattle Chamber Players, the NY Composers Orchestra, among others and has played with improvisors Bill Frisell, Butch Morris, and John Zorn as well as in his own jazz ensembles. Peggy Lee is a member of Vancouver, BC's foremost new music ensemble's Standing Wave as well as many jazz and other improvised music ensembles throughout North America and Europe. Ron Miles has performed and recorded with Ginger Baker, Don Byron, the Ellington Orchestra, Bill Frisell, and others and is also an active performer and composer in Denver. Sara Schoenbeck has played with Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Quincy Jones, Pauline Oliveros, Stevie Wonder, and on soundtracks for numerous movies and television programs.
Gravitas Quartet is performing for two nights Friday and Saturday April 4 & 5, 2008 at the Cliburn Recital Hall at 330 E 4th Street in downtown Fort Worth. Tickets are $25, $15 for students and seniors, available from Bass Hall ticketing 817 212-4280 and at the door.
Below are some URLs for a fuller description of the band, recordings from both of their CDs, and some interviews with Horvitz on his conception of the band. The attached picture was taken by photographer Nenad Stevanovic.
