Three nights of improvised music in honor of Derek Bailey, organized by John Zorn:
"Derek Bailey was a dear friend and mentor, whose passion for pure improvisation inspired generations of musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds. For these three nights we return to the Improv Night tradition that began as benefits for The Stone, and that have been, in many ways, inspired by Derek Bailey’s legendary Company Weeks.
Each evening will present a rotating kaleidoscope of master improvisers, who will then divide into smaller improvisational units-each concert promising a unique and exciting experience.
Please join us in this heartfelt tribute to the art of improvisation, to the ever-thriving, ever-expanding Downtown Scene, and to the spirit of Derek Bailey and Company."
