Paul Flaherty Quartet + Indignant Senility + Family Underground w/ DJ Sets by Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting
Saxophonist Paul Flaherty is a pure free-improv player, using no written tunes or pre-arranged outlines. He performs here with his quartet, which includes trombonist Steve Swell, violinist/vocalist and noise artist C. Spencer Yeh, and seminal punk-jazz drummer Weasel Walter.
Pat Maherr performs as both Indigent Senility and his DJ moniker Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting, the second being with Danish free-drone duo Family Underground. Maherr, based in Portland, Oregon, has previously split his time between a plethora of monikers, from the chopped and screwed hiphop of DJ Yo Yo Dieting to Sisprum Vish's lo-fi noise, developing the gritty collage sensibility which he's mastered to a disturbing degree.
Paul Flaherty (tenor &; alto sax ) has been playing free improv music for the past 40 years. His music is an attempt each time to release to whatever sounds or improvised themes that need to emerge. There are no written tunes, pre-arranged outlines, or group leaders once the music begins. The influences include jazz, noize, classical, rock, blues, eastern, etc. Based in Connecticut for his entire life , there were long periods where "gigs" were few and far between. A thousand late night solo street playing scenes and and a thousand private / public free-form jam sessions helped bring the music into focus.
In the late 80s Flaherty began a collaboration with drummer Randall Colbourne that continues to this day . It's produced over 15 free jazz albums with musicans that have included Mike Murary, Daniel Carter, Sabir Mateen, Raphe Malik, Richard Downs, Steve Scholz, Froc, and James "Chumley" Hunt among others. In the late 90s Flaherty began touring and recording with elastic drummer Chris Corsano. This connection also continues to this day and has produced over 15 free jazz/noize releases as well. Musicans recording with Paul &; Chris include Wally Shoup, C. Spencer Yeh, Thurston Moore, Bill Nace ,Steve Baczkowski, Greg Kelley, Matt Heyner and Heather Leigh. Other Flaherty recording projects have included 3 solo albums, and records with: Jeff Hartford, Marc Edwards, Lawrence Cook, Weasel Walter, Bill Walach, Joe Mcphee, Steve Swell, Barry Greika, Bob Laramie and Glen "Hobbit " Peterson.
Steve Swell, born in Newark, New Jersey, has been living, working and performing in New York City his entire adult life. In the mid-seventies he studied with Roswell Rudd, Grachan Moncur III and Jimmy Knepper after attending Jersey City State Teacher's College. He has toured and recorded with such diverse jazz personalities as mainstreamers Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich, to so-called outsiders like Anthony Braxton and Jemeel Moondoc. Swell has 30 recordings as a leader or co-leader and is a featured artist on more than ninety other releases. He received grants from USArtists International in 2006, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, an MCAF award (LMCC) in 2008 and was commissioned for the Interpretations Series at Merkin Hall i...
