9 pm
Three shorts sets featuring James Falzone (Chicago)
Set 1: quartet of James Falzone, Kyle Bruckmann, Gino Robair, Kjell Nordeson
Set 2: duo set with James Falzone & Phillip Greenlief
Set 3: a few sub-groupings of all the above

James Falzone, like many musicians of his generation, has a varied and complex career touching equally on areas of performance, composition, and teaching. His music does not fall easily into a prescribed genre and he is rather difficult to categorize. In a day when so much music is neatly packaged for easy consumption, James’ wide interests and experience is something to celebrate.
