Tonight global percussionist Ian Dogole and his genre-defying band of world-class collaborators will return to the Throckmorton stage to celebrate the release of Ian’s epic double CD project – Outside The Box – Jazz Journeys & Worlds Beyond. The audience will be transported on an epic musical odyssey that traverses an ever-changing aural landscape – from original compositions inspired by the ancient Silk Road, the trance-inducing rhythms of the Sahara Desert and the passionate flamenco music of Andalusia … to new interpretations of timeless compositions by legendary musicians/composers Ornette Coleman, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Alice Coltrane and Milton Nascimento … to improvisational treks into other-worldly realms.
