Crooked Yellow Brick House - Wayne Potrafka
T.I. participant Jamson Sevits is unveiling his “conduction” improv ensemble The Yellow House Collective tonight at Little Hamilton. The YHC features a revolving group of performers, many of which (including Lawrence Crow, Charlie Rauh, Tommy Stangroom, and Craig Schenker) are T.I. participants. Here’s more from Facebook event page:
Under the watchful eyes, ears, and hands of leader Jamison Sevits, this group is an experiment in “conduction”, which involves a completely improvised musical group that is conducted via sign language (you’ll just have to see it to understand). The emphasis will be on groove based music (a la Miles Davis in the 70’s, Fela Kuti, etc.) but there will be utterly free elements that weave in and out as well, as per our mad conductor’s whims. We don’t exactly know who will show up with what instruments, but that is part of the beauty of this project; in today’s world it is too easy to be overly expectant and unimpressed by musical acts, so we hope to challenge those feelings of blasé and ennui by presenting pure improvisation with a purpose… that also makes you shake your booty.
This is the beginning of something special and if you appreciate improvised music, you won’t want to miss this.
Philadelphia improv duo McKenzie will headline the show. T.I. participant Lawrence Crow will open the show at 9pm. Hope to see you there!
