Brandon Davis & Joel Lawrence - [improvisation]
The coexisDance series, which has been bringing together improvisers from Toronto's music and dance scenes for more than a decade, seems to have been thriving lately. Settled into Cabbagetown's CCDT, there's a proper floor and room to set up a large illuminated circle for the performances, musicians strewn around the perimemter and getting a chance to improvise with two different dance artists over the course of the evening. Raphael Roter has brought curatorial energy to the series, with a passion for bridging two vibrant communities that might not rub elbows enough. [Do note that these field recordings are, by necessity, "incomplete" without the dancers' physicality, but I think it's worth preserving this work from some excellent players in the community.]
Joel Lawrence flexed like a bow scraping at the strings while double bassist Brandon Davis brought a vibrant energy to his playing in this set.
[Brandon Davis will be leading his Stations Quartet (alongside Patrick O'Reilly, Luan Phung, and Germaine Liu) in The Southern Cross on Wednesday (March 25th).]
