Victor Cirone & Colin Fisher - [second section]

A mildly-unsettled evening for the season's final patio show, with a piquant breeze and a few raindrops just before showtime. The forecast was calling for a late-evening warming pattern but instead there was a bit more of a hint of a autumnal chill in the air. Ever since I saw this duo make their formal live debut together they've been playing occasional gigs but I hadn't checked back in with them until now. With Cirone's tabla providing the propulsion, Fisher added textures on guitar and sax, with pads and loops often creating multiple layers for him to drift above.

[Colin Fisher will be playing a duo set alongside tar master Araz Salek at Track Could Bend #44 on Tuesday, November 6th at Wenona Lodge.]

Nice to see an old hang like Saving Gigi showing an openness to booking some music with a weirder edge — it felt just the right size for this cozy show assembled by Katrina S. This pairing matched Victor Cirone's percussion (on tabla, as heard here, as well as on djembe) with Colin Fisher's work on guitar and sax. There was a tasty flow throughout, and it looks like this longstanding practice jam partnership is going to be playing some more gigs together.

[This pair will be taking part in a "gathering for percussive sounds" alongside Fahmid Nibesh in a "combination of solo/duo/trio sessions" in a late set at The Tranzac on Sunday night (May 21st).]
