STICKMAN: Neil Haverstick, known professionally as Stickman, takes us into the world of micro-tonality. He plays jazz and blues on acoustic and electric guitars modified to have 19 or 34 equal steps to the octave, which allows greater variety while still preserving most of our common consonant intervals. We’ll be hearing from four of Stickman’s CDs; STICK MAN from 2005, MYSTERIOUS FEMALE from 2005/2006, WAY DOWN BY THE MISSISSIPPI from early 2008, and SPIDER from later in 2008.
We’ll plug Ndidi Onukwulu’s concert tomorrow @ L.A.C., Chris Gestrin [who’s with John Geggie on April 25 @ NAC4], Francois Houle’s recital at the National Gallery on April 27 and Duane Andrews’ performance on April 30 at the Black Sheep Inn.
