Jon Pfeffer’s “LICORICE” + Skeletons-Big-Band in New York
This sunday December 6th those people who are fortunate to live in NEW YORK CITY have the opportunity to witness a very special night.
Capillary Action’s trombone whiz Sam Kulik is curating The Stone (this is the club of a guy named JOHN ZORN) for the first half of December.
Sam graciously invited Capillary Action‘s mastermind Jonathan Pfeffer to take part in the festivities. Since they will share the bill with the amazing (!!!) SKELETON$ in their big band format, Jon thought he’d cook up something special for the occasion as well.
So, Jon is premiering the first two sections from a new large ensemble piece LICORICE for piano, accordion, contrabass, hammered dulcimer, two violins, cello, trombone, trumpet, two flutes, oboe, tenor sax, two alto voices, one tenor and two percussionists that night. In addition to a few familiar Cap-Action faces (Spencer, Sam and Ricardo), there are some amazing musicians taking part in the “LICORICE”-performance:
Mike Gallope- Piano, Accordion
Spencer Russell- Contrabass
Jeff Young- Violin
Rebecca Schlappich- Violin
Caleigh Drane- Cello
