About this concert
Berkeley bassist and composer Lisa Mezzacappa launches a yearlong residency at Bird & Beckett, to revisit and refresh older repertoire and compose a new set of music for the the latest incarnation of her stellar improvising ensemble. Mezzacappa’s previous works for this group have drawn inspiration from Dashiell Hammett and Paul Auster’s lean noir crime novels and Italo Calvino’s hilarious and poignant Cosmicomics stories. Now she’s exploring the concept of worldbuilding—inspired by teenage Dungeons & Dragons sessions with her metalhead friends, and her fascination with the speculative fiction of Ursula Le Guin, Haruki Murakami and David Mitchell— as a way to envision new kinds of musical interaction, storytelling, structure and play.

Aaron Bennett Biography
Aaron Bennett (https://www.aarondavidbennett.com )
Aaron Bennett has been playing saxophone professionally for over 40 years. He decided he wanted to dedicate his life to playing jazz music after hearing John Coltrane at the age of 14. He has spent most of this time as a member of the jazz community in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has performed in clubs and festivals locally, throughout the United States and abroad, including multiple performances at S.F. Jazz and the Monterey Jazz. Mr. Bennett has focused his work on improvisation and self-expression. The New York City Jazz Record said of his playing: "Bennett is a revelation. It's a rare saxophonist who makes every note count, but Bennett is one of them" [The New York City Jazz Record Nov. 2016]
