You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Dastgah: Adam Rudolph's Go:Organic Orchestra (feat. Araz Salek/Sadaf Amini/Hamidreza Khalatbari/Jonathan Adjemian/Ernie Tollar/Aline Homzy/Nelson Moneo/Rob Clutton/Karen Ng/Emily Denison/Peter Lutek/Jay Hay/Pedram Khavarzamini/Brandon Valdivia/Nick Fraser) / The Music Gallery @ 918 Bathurst 2018-11-17 (Saturday) [FB event]
When Adam Rudolph brought his Go: Organic concept to the Music Gallery nearly three years ago, it was satisfying both musically and conceptually in finding ways for a large improvising ensemble to work together. Araz Salek (who's also been active recently as one of the driving forces behind the Labyrinth Ontario workshop and concert series) was part of that ensemble the last time 'round, and was inspired to think how Rudolph's system of conducting and notation could be applied to the Iranian modal tradition he works within. This concert is the outcome of that line of inquiry, mixing musicians from different streams who will be guided by scored material and hand gestures to approach playing together in a different way. It's a super-impressive crew of musicians, many of whom should be familiar to frequent visitors to this space.
