ESS is pleased to present a free afternoon concert in the garden by two groups of improvisers: the Jeff Kowalkowski Trio (with Harrison Bankhead, bass; Avreeayl Ra, drums), and Dos Hongos (Marc Riordan, piano; Jacob Wick, trumpet). The concert, open to the public, is also the final stop on the West Edgewater Area Residents annual Garden Walk.

Volcano Radar is a fusion of ecstatic improvisational energy and Apollonian intellect. A power quartet with dual free jazz/noise/avant guitarists Elbio Barilari and Julia A. Miller, legendary bassist Harrison Bankhead and incendiary drummer Avreeayl Ra, Volcano Radar moves fluently through a stylistic range from noise-funk improvisation to structured sonic forms. This special concert will feature drummer Avreeayl Ra, and highlight his work with sonic cosmonaut Sun Ra.
