ISSUE presents Rachel Bernsen performing two movement and sound collaborations; an excerpt of the quartet Unicorns Were Horses II, a concept album masquerading as a performance; and a new solo Glimmer Glint Glisten, exploring luminosity as a form of truth.
Named for Georgia Hubley’s solo project Little Black Egg, this expanded big band features Hubley and Yo La Tengo compatriots Ira Kaplan and James McNew, joined by bassist Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu), and jazz mainstays Susie Ibarra, Daniel Carter, and Taylor Ho Bynum. Australian improvisor Oren Ambarchi plays solo.

THE FESTIVAL OF NEW TRUMPET MUSIC was founded in 2003 by Roy Campbell, Jr. and Dave Douglas. The amazing diversity of new compositions for trumpet inspired Mr. Campbell and Mr. Douglas to create FONT. Jon Nelson has joined FONT for 2004 to curate post-classical and other related repertoire.
