In this evening dedicated to Cecil Taylor’s mastery and influence, virtuoso pianist Thollem McDonas will perform solo and with bass clarinetist Arrington de Dionyso, followed by a set from the thunderous percussionist and powerhouse bandleader William Hooker, joined by Mark Hennen, Larry Roland and Matt Lavelle.

Pianist Thollem McDonas's extensive travels as a performer have covered much of the North American continent and Europe. His musical experiences are extremely diverse and his ever expanding variety of approaches to music making result in dramatically new and different outcomes.
