Mauger Trio February 17, 2010

Claire Trevor School of the Arts
Department of Music Gassmann Electronic Music Series presents
Mauger Trio

Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mark Dresser,
Gerry Hemingway - saxophone, bass, percussion and electronics

Feb. 17, 8:00 p.m.

Winifred Smith Hall, Admission is free.

Members of the much remembered classic quartet of Anthony Braxton and bandleaders in their own right, Mark Dresser and Gerry Hemingway are among the first names one considers as the best improvisers on their respective instruments, the double bass and the drum kit. Extraordinarily gifted musicians, innovators of defining and expanding the meaning of contemporary jazz, and being of wholly creative minds, these two veterans of creative music join forces with the younger but equally notable saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, whose versatility and virtuosity combined with the depths of his multi-cultural roots justify his fame as a “rising star”.
