Harmolodic Monk @ 8:00
Matt Lavelle (alto clarinet, trumpet, cornet) and John Pietaro (vibraphone, percussion)

Red Microphone @ 9:00
John Pietaro (vibraphone, multi-percussion), Ras Moshe (tenor & soprano saxophones, flute), Rocco John Iacovone (alto & soprano saxophones), Nicolas Letman-Burtinovic (double bass)
The Red Microphone is a NYC-based New Music/New Jazz quartet of rad musicians engaging in a repertoire drenched in liberation jazz, dissident swing and contemporary composition at once compelling and patently “downtown”. Call it post-Ornette, Post-Dolphy, post-Occupy music. The band’s art is as revolutionary as the times demand. The ensemble’s debut CD, The Red Microphone Speaks! was released in April 2013 (Dissident Arts label).
