Galvin Fine Arts - Performing Art Series
Henry Threadgill & Zooid
Friday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Galvin Fine Arts Center, Allaert Auditorium
The jazz icon, saxophonist/flutist Henry Threadgill is one of Improvisational music’s most uncompromising and brilliant composers and bandleaders. His exhilarating acoustic sextet, Zooid will celebrate a new alloy of sound by stirring up a peculiar instrumental mix: electric guitar, oud, tuba, cello and drums. The music expresses breathtaking beauty, imaginative eccentricities and improvisational freedom. One of jazz’s most admired innovators since the ‘70s, Henry Threadgill will challenge and inspire you. Members of Zooid include drummer Elliott Humberto Kavee, guitarist Liberty Ellman, Jose Davilla on tuba, cellist Rubin Kodhell, and cello/trombonist Dana Leong.
Tickets: Adults–$15, faculty/staff/alumni/senior citizens–$13, non-SAU students–$10, groups–$9, SAU students with current valid student ID–admitted free.
