Esteemed composer, bandleader and musician Vinny Golia will present a special two-part concert at berkeley arts at 8 PM. The evening features the Vinny Golia Septet. This ensemble of talented musicians consists of 2 woodwinds, trumpet, trombone, piano bass and drums. The music of the evening is drawn from compositions that Mr. Golia has written throughout the last few years.

"Golia throws the weight of his experiences and proficiencies from other areas into this band. This isn’t year typical jazz septet. The three wind instruments creates an agitation that goes to the heart of Golia’s concept of music: counterpoint, purposeful spontaneity and elaborate meshes are the order of the day for him. And like the avant chamber music he’s composed and led for so long, he is able to find fertile arrangements for the horns and at the same time take full advantage of his amplified and nimble rhythm section to create tension and drama in a way that he can’t do with his Large Ensemble."
