Experimental improvisor Shane Perlowin is profiled.

Shane Perlowin, a virtuosic and voraciously eclectic Asheville-based guitarist, does not want for creative outlets. Perlowin’s best known for leading experimental duo Ahleuchatistas, with which he’s toured internationally — and, perhaps, been more warmly received than in the States — and been featured on vanguard experimental-music labels Cuneiform and Tzadik, the latter run by avant-garde musician John Zorn. He’s also composed material for jazz trio Mind Versus Target and avant-garde psychedelic outfit Doom Ribbons; he’s also an in-demand accompanist and improviser.

From Ron Anderson:

This Friday night September 3rd – PAK with Neo, Tribraco and Marc Edwards/Weasel Walter Group. At the Silent Barn 915 Wyckoff Avenue Ridgewood NY 11385 9pm This is a must see concert…our friends from Rome, Italy Neo are just amazing.. a mind blowing trio guitar, saxophone, drums… very, very fast and complex, more rock than jazz…just great. They are touring with Tribraco another band from Italy, who I have not seen yet so a surprise… plus Weasel Walter (how can you go wrong when this guy plays?) and the first time PAK as a duet, just R.A. and Keith, will perform in New York!

From the BBC:

Jez Nelson presents a session played in tribute to the late saxophonist Elton Dean, featuring Alex Maguire on keyboards, trumpeter Jim Dvorak, saxophonist Simon Picard, bassist Paul Rogers and drummer Tony Levin.

A versatile musician, whose work over four decades encompassed free improvisation, jazz-rock and avant-jazz, Elton Dean was a key figure on the UK’s creative music scene until his death in 2006 at the age of 60. Having made his name in Keith Tippett‘s sextet and then seminal rock group Soft Machine in the late 60s and early 70s, he went on to lead diverse projects of his own and work with a wide range of collaborators, several of whom feature in this session. This completely improvised set was recorded in June this year in the living room of Dean’s flat in London’s Dalston.

From mnartists.org:

Pamela Espeland continues her series on improvising musicians with Douglas R. Ewart, a multi-talented and award-winning musician, composer, instrument builder, lecturer, educator.

Currently, Ewart divides his time between Minneapolis and Chicago, where he has taught at the Art Institute of Chicago since 1990. He plays dozens of instruments and has released several recordings on his own label, Aarawak. He leads a wide variety of musical ensembles including Douglas R. Ewart and Inventions, Clarinet Choir, Nyahbingi Drum Choir, Quasar, and the newly formed Stringnets for stringed instruments and clarinets. His large-scale collective project, Crepescule, has been performed in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Paris. Ewart Sonic Tops premiered in Chicago last year, and he’s hoping to bring it to Minneapolis. His latest idea involves racquetballs and tennis balls.

That he had time for a lengthy interview last month was something of a miracle
