Skin & Bone with Anna de Leon at Anna's Jazz Island May 22, 2009

Skin & Bone is the stellar father-and-son team of pianist Si Perkoff and trombonist/pianist Max Perkoff in cahoots with multi-percussionist dynamo Ian Dogole and virtuoso bassist Sam Bevan. One of the most inventive quartets around, Skin & Bone delivers a dazzling array of original compositions and highly adventurous re-creations of pieces from legendary composers such as Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter, via some of the most unusual combinations of instruments yet seen on any stage. As a special treat for this evening's show, Anna de Leon will sing with this talented quartet during their opening set.

This show is part of the annual May Around the Bay public concert series for Bread & Roses. A portion of the proceeds from a selection of concerts will come to Bread & Roses.

Si Perkoff´s first Bread & Roses show was in 1990, Max Perkoff´s first was in 2005, and Ian Dogole has been a volunteer performer since 2004 bringing instruments from all over the world for his audiences to listen to, learn about and, if they´re brave enough, play. Anna de Leon has also done many shows for Bread & Roses since 2004, particularly for senior audiences in the East Bay.

Bread & Roses is dedicated to:
-- providing free, live, quality entertainment to people who live in institutions or are otherwise isolated from society,
-- creating a social awareness of people who are isolated from society, and
-- encouraging the development of similar organizations in other communities.

The audiences B&R serves live in hospitals, senior convalescent homes, AIDS facilities, special needs schools, shelters for the abused or homeless and other facilities serving children, teens, adults and elders.
