Cross Currents in Improvisation: Part III March 4, 2010

Catch the third (featuring Didier Petit, cello (France), John Gross (tenor saxophone) with Dana Reason, and Tim DuRoche) in an incredible series of improvisational jazz concerts described as, ‘local, multi-coastal, and global perspectives on jazz and improvised music. This vibrant form of community collaboration celebrates innovation, risk, experimentation and art that nurtures multiple voices contributing to a larger, durable good’.

Didier Petit is one of Europe’s premiere improvising musicians. One of the finest players to have come out of Alan Silva’s IACP school, cellist Didier Petit has been active on the French free improvisation scene since the mid-’80s. His playing style relies mostly on double-string arco (bowing) technique and he is also often heard vocalizing on top of his instrument.
