Never Enough Hope: Small Group Improvisations
After two consecutive shows at AV-aerie (Friday and Saturday night Feb. 29th and March 1st), Toby Summerfield's Never Enough Hope will break down into small groups and perform ad hoc improvisations at Heaven Gallery!
Never Enough Hope is a very large ensemble put together every so often by Toby Summerfield. The first never enough hope performances were in 2005, at Open End and at The hungry brain. The piece, also titled "never enough hope" is their debut recording. Their hope is to be able to perform more regularly than every two years. The inspiration and motiviation behind this band is to celebrate the friendship and community particular to musicians and music lovers. It is the sound of a bunch of friends singing together, happy to be around each other, doing what they love.
Featuring Dina Maccabee, Sara Jo Zaharako, Amy Cimini, Kevin Davis, Eric Perney, Jaimie Branch, Brian Lipson, Aram Shelton, Dave Rempis, Keefe Jackson, Tim Haldeman, Dan Bennett, Colin Stetson, Tim Brown, Dan Sylvester, Nathaniel Braddock, Josh Tillinghast, Marc Riordan, Frank Rosaly, Tim Strand, Toby Summerfield.

WOLTER WIERBOS (Amsterdam)
solo trombone
Wolter Wierbos is considered one of the world’s leading trombone players. He has played throughout Europe, Canada, USA and Asia. Wierbos has many awards to his name, including the Podiumprijs for Jazz and Improvised music and the most important Dutch jazz award, the VPRO Boy Edgar Prize.
Like many Dutch brass players Wierbos started out in a ‘fanfare’ (brass band), switching from trumpet to trombone when he was 17. “It looked good, and the trombones walk in front....” His interests range from precise chamber jazz to throbbing post punk and contemporary composed and improvised music.
