8pm
Hay-Looney-Dutz trio
Emily Hay - flute
Scott Looney - piano
Brad Dutz - percussion

Los Angeles based flutist/vocalist Emily Hay and percussionist Brad Dutz team up for the first time with bay area pianist Scott Looney to create aural palettes of wicked grooves, mesmerizing improvs, bluesy moodiness and provocative stream-of-consciousness narratives. Hay's vocals, which are described as "something like a cross between a brain damaged three month old infant and an exotic bird" will clash and mesh with Dutz's spattering, dangerous and crashing percussion timbres, odd meters and unending array of instruments, all highlighted by Looney's pianistic power and subtle intensity.
