at the BOWERY POETRY Club NYC
(Bowery & Bleecker)
a unique evening with Greetings Aural Magazine

Greetings Aural Magazine #8

    Saturday, February 4th at 8pm Greetings Magazine continues its gentle guerilla attack on the written word by
holding the next in its aural magazine series at the Bowery Poetry Club.  Scheduled to perform are
the rootsy-folksy-bluesey-grassy Jones Street Boys, the improvising turntablist Marina Rosenfeld,
 and the coherent and still free saxophonist Blaise Siwula.  For poets there’s the sparse eloquence of John Clair
 and the inside-out lines of Julian Poirier.   In the spirit of experimentation and collaboration, musicians and poets
will combine for performances.  As always we invite any and all to listen, enjoy, and submit for our next event
(to be held in spring 2006).

    Greetings Magazine, published out of Brooklyn for the past five years, emphasizes the oral and collaborative nature
 of the poem by shifting from the mindset of a magazine that publishes copy and occasionally has readings, to the mindset
of a reading series that secondarily documents readings with CD recordings and printed pages.  The magazine is the event
and the event is the magazine (this time issue #8).  All of which sounds as academic and dry as poetry readings themselves
can sometimes be.  With that said, we do the best we can to have an evening where you feel just as comfortable laughing at
what you don’t care for as you do hollering for what you want more of.  We aim to make it fun.  We also aim to make it feel
relaxed enough for newcomers to meet and mingle with the poets, musicians, editors, etc.

    As always, patrons of the show on the 4th will receive a complimentary CD and magazine from the previous event at the
BPC, featuring the music and words of James Hoff, Steve Dalachinsky, Val Geffner, Eddie Berrigan, Rule of Thumb,
John Coletti and more.  The 4th’s event will itself be recorded and available at the next event in the series scheduled
for the spring of 2006 at the Bowery Poetry Club, which itself will be recorded.  And so on and so on.  Admission will be $8.

SSS : SIWULA-STOWE-SAGE TRIO
       [The Total-Improvisation Unit]
               with special guests:
   Robyn Siwula viola & Bern Nix guitar
The newly formed trio of Blaise Siwula (reeds), Nobu Stowe (piano) and Ray Sage (drums)
explores a wholistic approach to fully improvised music.  Their style is best described as ‘total improvisation’
that requires the performer not only to experiment with 'sound textures' but also to spontaneously create 'songs'
(melodies with tonal harmonies).  The sound of the trio is reminiscent of the spontaneous melodicism of Keith Jarrett,
the avant energy of John Coltrane/Cecil Taylor and the stuructural cohesiveness of J.S. Bach with dashes of world music.
"Unexpected and promising melding of avant aggression and lyrical melodicism. An exciting Journey." 
             Jim DeJong – Jazz Institute of Chicago
