My Misshapen Ear - Tenterhooks

This new combo features the joint talents of Anthony Argatoff (sax), Andrew Furlong (double bass) and Joe Sorbara (percussion), and a name cribbed from Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, which Joe Sorbara took as a marker of the presumed deformity (read: evolutionary advantage) shared by all lovers of weird sounds. It was also the name of a long-ish suite that dominated this performance's second set — the trio built up to that in the first with a series of shorter pieces from all three members poking their noses into quiet nooks and crannies in between explosive percussive outbursts.
