GRID MESH @ CUBE GALLERY - MARCH 20
Grid Mesh
from Berlin, Germany
at the Cube Gallery
7, Hamilton Avenue North
Ottawa
Friday, March 20th at 8 PM
Admission $ 10
Andreas Willer, guitar
Frank Paul Schubert, alto and soprano saxophones
Rudi Fischerlehner, drums
Thanks to a travel grant from the City of Berlin cultural affairs, the Berlin-based
Grid Mesh trio will make a stop in Ottawa after performing at Sci Fi’s in Philadelphia, John Zorn’s The Stone in New York City, Metropolis Underground in Syracuse, and at le Cagibi in Montreal in a double bill with the Jean Derome trio.
The importance of Berlin as a Jazz Mecca has been discussed intensively since last summer here in Ottawa, thanks to Peter Hum from the Ottawa Citizen. The number of Canadian Jazz musicians moving to Berlin is also reported to be on the rise.
Grid Mesh’s tour is a unique opportunity to sample a piece of the Berlin scene and try to understand what is going on there.
About Grid Mesh: As usual in Berlin, the Grid Mesh group is the result of a project involving musicians who themselves are involved in many other projects of apparent complete stylistic heterogeneity. Consequently, a Grid Mesh piece of music is rarely monolithic when it comes to style and instead draws from the various free improvisation backgrounds of the musicians while still resulting in a unique band sound that often has early Jazz collective improvisation qualities. The best metaphor is probably to compare it to a trans-continental journey by train where every time you look out the window the landscape has completely changed while still feeling at home.

March 4 Listen Before You Buy: Recent jazz releases in a range of styles by the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Matt Criscuolo, Frank Gratkowski, Rocco John,
Saltman Knowles, the Microscopic Seven, Daniel Smith and Mark Sweetman.
March 11 Blues Queens of the ‘Twenties: As our International Women’s Day special, we’ll trace the careers and listen to the recordings of three Blues Queens of the ‘Twenties – Mary Stafford, Victoria Spivey and Edith Wilson.
March 18 Ron Miles: Introducing a contemporary trumpeter from Denver with a very personal style, who has recorded with Ginger Baker, Bill Frisell, Fred Hess and Wayne Horvitz as well as making several recordings as a leader.
March 25 Piano Special: Six superb pianists share the spotlight tonight: Achmin Kaufmann, Livia Minafra, John Stetch, Michael Jefry Stevens, Ross Taggart and Amanda Tosoff;one American, one German, one Italian and three Canadians.
April 1 Listen Before You Buy: The cream of the crop of recent jazz and blues releases by Frank Carlberg, Vinny Cutro, Eddie Daniels, Steve Elson, Charles Evans, Roger Kellaway, Colleen McNabb, Tony Monaco, Jaimee Paul, Denise Perrier,
Yank Rachell, Mark Sweetman and Jay Vonada.

Scene: Let’s welcome the British Columbia jazz artists who will be appearing in the National Capital Region between April 21 and May 3: Seamus Blake, Bill Coon, Chris Gestrin, Kate Hammett-Vaughan, Hard Rubber Orchestra, Francois Houle, Diana Krall, Brad Turner and Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne.
April 15 Birth of the Cool: April 2009 marks the sixtieth anniversary of one of the influential recording sessions which demonstrated a new approach to arranging and playing jazz.
