ACT reACT

  • Piedmont Piano Company 1728 San Pablo Avenue Oakland, CA, 94612 (map)

LIVE at Piedmont Piano Company

ACT reACT

Whatever musical action you take, do it with conviction. ACT, don't just act. Other players must also take action with the same level of conviction. Thus, they reACT, not simply perform a reaction. With Art Lande (piano), Carl Schultz (saxophones), and Tim Wendel (guitar), the interplay of this dynamic is on full display, and from this conviction comes cohesive, melodic, intricate, expressive and compelling music.


$25 General Admission
