What is Bottesini?

The guiding principle of this ensemble is to create a collective of Denver and International musicians dedicated to free improvisation. Every Bottesini performance will be an entirely unique musical experience which will draw upon a multitude of musical genres and landscapes. In each coming performance various instrumentation and personnel changes will become the norm. You can expect to see some of the most talented and proficient musicians from around the world in all future Bottesini performances.

Each performance of Bottesini will focus strongly on a programmatic approach to free improvisation. The intent of this approach is to create musical landscapes with inherent form and structure; thus, lending the impression of composed rehearsed music.

Past Performances and recording sessions have included some of the finest improvisers from around the country including:

Paul Riola: Saxophones/Leader Nels Cline: Guitar (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco) Ron Miles: Cornet (Bill Frisell) Janet Feder: Guitar (Fred Frith) Vinny Golia: Woodwinds Fred Frith: Guitar (Naked city) Carla Kihlsted: Violin (Tin Hat) DJ Olive: Turntables (Sonic Youth, MMW, John Zorn) Scott Amendola: Drums (Nels Cline Singers, Primus) Jeff Parker: Guitar (Tortoise, Isotope 217) Josh Abrams: Bass (The Roots, Chicago Underground) Josh Berman: Trumpet (Exploding Star Orchestra)Tony Jefferson: Drums (Lonnie Smith, Lou Donaldson) Mark Harris: Saxophones (Hamster Theater, Fred Hess) Doug Anderson: Bass (County Road X, Art Lande, Erik Deutsch) Glenn Taylor: Pedal Steel (Ginger Baker, County Road X) Eric Moon: Keyboards (Bjork) Greg Harris: Vibes (Future Jazz Project) Keenan Wayne: Bass (Sutro) Richard Von Foerster: Cello (Colorado Ballet Orchestra) Dave Devine: Guitar (Ron Miles, The Czars) Roger Green: Guitar (Ron Miles, The Czars) Justin Gitlin (CacheFlowe): Laptop Art Lande: Piano and Drums (Jan Garberek, Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw) Colin Bricker: Laptop and Guitar (Cowhause, Glenn Taylor Orchestra, Birdy) Farrell Lowe: Guitar Ernie Crews: Drums Michael Vlatkovich: Trombone Mark Clifford: Vibes (The Playground) Serefin Sanchez: Saxophones and Electronics Chris Lee: Drums (Joe Henderson, Gary Peacock) Carrie Beeder: Violin Antwon Owens: Drums James Hoskins: Cello (County Road X) Kent McLagan: Bass (Ron Miles) Jay Ellis: Drums

Your task if you choose to do it: VOTE FOR THIS WEEK’S TOP 12

RIGHT HERE!

Results announced on Wednesday live on 1190 from 5-6pm and as always the results posted shortly after the broadcast on this here blog.

How’s it going? Did you watch the Oscars? I didn’t but saw run-down of winners and heard a little about features like a horror movie feature and a tribute to John Hughes that I will have to find online somewhere. What was your choice for Best Picture? I didn’t see all nominees (including Hurt Locker) so I can’t really say. Also, I was sad to read that Mark Linkous the gentleman behind Sparklehorse and other great musical projects took his life on Friday. I DJ’d a 21+ Prom the other night at Jonesy’s Eat Bar, it was super fun… it enabled me to mix some of my favorite indie love songs with songs that I don’t necessarily get to play on the radio (like Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly”). The people there wanted lot’s of slow dances, and 80s/90s. Very nostalgic, too bad I didn’t have a hot date to slow dance with while the songs were on…

XOXO,
djAlisha.
