The University at Albany Department
of Music is pleased to present the Bob Gluck, Michael Bisio and Dean Sharp Trio in a concert on Sunday, October 14,
2007 at 3pm in the Recital Hall of the Performing Arts
Center on the uptown campus. The
trio is an imaginative and dynamic improvisatory jazz ensemble comprised of
three well-seasoned musicians, successful in several musical worlds. Founded
this past winter to perform the music of Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett and
Weather Report, its repertoire has expanded to feature original compositions
and extended improvisations. Initial performances have included the Saratoga Arts Center, Justin's on Lark and live on North East Public
Radio, a broadcast heard across New York’s
Capital District, the Catskills, mid-Hudson Valley and much of Connecticut.
Multi-talented
pianist, composer, software interface designer and historical writer, Bob
Gluck's repertoire spans jazz performance integrating
electronics, free improvisation, avant-garde concert music and music for
electronic expansions of acoustical instruments. He is Assistant Professor at UAlbany
where he directs the Electronic Music Studio. Michael Bisio is a distinctly
original bassist and composer whose list of collaborators reads like a who's
who of jazz. He has performed at the Earshot and Guelph Jazz Festivals,
the famed Vision Festival in New
York and at Tanglewood. Dean Sharp has
performed and recorded with a strikingly diverse array of creative artists
including Moby, Brad Mehldau, Joe Lovano, and Tony Levin. He is a
prolific creative percussionist, producer and remixer. As a trio, they bring a
unique perspective to teaching and performing jazz, bridging traditional and
avant-garde perspectives. The trio’s goal is to mesh their highly individual
voices within a collective whole. They view every performance as an opportunity
to explore new ground, while drawing from the past.
Tickets are $8 for the general public and $4 for students and
may be purchased through the Performing Arts Center Box Office. For further information, contact the Box Office
