4/29 Little Mystery & Bob Moses

Trumpeter Eric Dahlman’s ground breaking group Little Mystery is a an experience unlike anything you've heard before, playing sometimes etherial, sometimes pointed new music that reflects the wide range of influences of the band. Percussionist Michael Knoblach will play a completely unique drum kit, made almost entirely of wood (including the cymbals!), Very cool stuff.

Drummer, composer, artist, poet, dancer, visionary, nature mystic: Bob Moses's life has been a continuous quest for vision, spirit, compassion, growth, and mastery in a multiplicity of art forms. A partial list of stellar musicians Bob Moses has worked and/or recorded with both as a leader and a sideman includes: Charles Mingus, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Jim Pepper, Larry Coryell, The Free Spirits, Dave Liebman, Gary Burton, Keith Jarrett, Steve Swallow, Michael Gibbs, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Paul Bley, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Jaco Pastorius, Hal Galper, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Steve Kuhn, Sheila Jordan, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Sanborn, Bill Frisell, Eddie Gomez, Don Alias, John Scofield, Terumasa Hino, Dave Holland, Charlie Haden, Hermeto Pascoal, Jovinos Santos Neto, Danillo Perez, David Sanchez, Chucho Valdes, Jimmy Slyde, Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Stan Strickland, Tiger Okoshi, Nana Vasconcelos, Obo Addy, John Medeski, Vernon Reid, DJ Logic, Badal Roy, Ravikiran, Master Anand, Raqib Hassan, Sam Rivers, Pharoah Sanders, Tisziji Muñoz, and many others. Moses's first recording as a leader was the 1968 album *Love Animal*, with Jim Pepper, Larry Coryell, Steve Swallow, and Keith Jarrett.

Bob leads his new group The Heart Breath Ensemble into characteristically uncharted territory tonight, with able assistance from the great saxophonist Stan Strickland .
