After having spent the last 22 years climbing eternity and traveling the metaphysical byways together, uber multi-instrumentalist Peck Allmond & super drummer Kenny Wollesen land at the Project Room.
From 8pm to midnight ! Allmond and Wollesen plan to bring ALL of their sound producing vibrational devices down to the Project Room for an evening sonic pleasure....
* * * BE WARNED - this will be a quiet show! audience members will be requested to take off their shoes, enjoy fresh herbal teas and free vegan snacks while listening on pillows.
ALSO - there will be several moments throughout the night where audience members will be kindly asked to join in the performance.
Originally from San Francisco, multi-instrumentalist and composer Peck Allmond has lived in NYC for over a dozen years. Aside from leading and writing for his own jazz/world-music unit, Peck Allmond Kalimba Kollective, he is an in-demand sideman on an unlikely variety of instruments: trumpet, flute, saxophones, valve trombone, bass clarinet, and many other brass and woodwinds. Peck also plays the kalimba, the African-derived thumb piano to which he brings an unusual amount of virtuosity; his most recent SoniCulture Records disc, "Kalimba Collage", whocases his unique abilities on this beautiful harp-like instrument. This recording can be heard and purchased at www.peckallmond.com. The Kalimba Kollective is scheduled for a European tour in May 2006.
Raised in Santa Cruz under the tutelage of Ruth Muller, and now a New Yorker, Kenny Wollesen plays in marching bands, panda bands, rok bands, and country bands.
