BEN GOLDBERG + DILLON VADO + TIM BULKLEY / FILMS BY DAVID MICHALAK...

WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES

Clarinetist BEN GOLDBERG joins DILLON VADO (vibraphone) and TIM BULKLEY (drums) in a set of trio improvisations. Sound knowledge and awareness from planet Neptone. The practice of remembering what you can't forget. Come have a listen; you won't believe your ears. Or else, you will believe your ears but there might be something else you don't believe. Or maybe nothing at all.

EYE-FULL FILMS presents a set of experimental films by DAVID MICHALAK, STEVE MOBIA, and ARTHUR GANSON, including the premiere showing of Michalak's Still Movin'.
