Moist Paula Henderson is a new collaborative project formed by the members of a mutual admiration society which dates back to the 1990s. It’s unclear to bari sax player Moist Paula, drummer/bass pedalist Brian “Willie B” Wilson and keysman Michael Stark exactly where and when they met but the general consensus is that it was around the turn of the century and possibly at The Cooler. Moist Paula and Willie B stayed in touch via email, friendster, myspace, then facebook, keeping abreast of each other’s musical exploits in Tzar, Moisturizer, Secretary and many other projects respectively. Finally they met in person again at the end of 2012 and Moist Paula jumped a megabus to Ithaca and played a show with Tzar. It was love at first jam and the three look forward many more live musical performances and much fun in the studio. Stay tuned for TZAR feat. Moist Paula Henderson in 2013! 2/17 Sunday (CL) 8 pm Mazz Swift – Violin Works Mazz Swift (electric violin, electronics) New works for solo electric violin and electronics, including a tribute to recently transitioned Butch Morris as well as her new work “The Desert Can Be Lush” (recently commissioned by Neues Kabarett at the Brecht Forum). Violin/Vox/Freestyle Composition artist Mazz Swift, often performing under the name MazzMuse, combines elements of classical, folk, rock, jazz, free improvisational music and electronica to create a rich, unique and diverse musical experience. She is a singer and Juilliard-trained violinist (electric and acoustic) who has, over the years, performed and recorded with a diverse accumulation of artists including Whitney Houston, Perry Farrell, Dee Snider, James “Blood” Ulmer, Vernon Reid, DJ Logic, William Parker, Butch Morris, Jason Lindner, Kanye West, Common and Jay-Z. As a solo artist her performance highlights include a performance at the National Action Network’s 20th Annual Keepers of the Dream awards ceremony where President Barack Obama was the keynote speaker; a TODAY Show appearance; and a TEDx appearance during the TEDWomen Conference. Mazz sits on the Artistic and Executive Boards of Con Vivo, a chamber music organization that brings free chamber music to Jersey City, and is also a proud performing member of that organization. 10 pm Home Mazz Swift (violin) Tanya Kalmanovitch (viola) Marika Hughes (cello) Home is a collective trio with violinist Mazz Swift (Matana Roberts’ Coin Coin, Burnt Sugar, MazzMuse), violist Tanya Kalmanovitch (Myra Melford, Turtle Island String Quartet) and cellist Marika Hughes (Charming Hostess, 2 Foot Yard). The three string players first met as students at the Juilliard School in the early 1990s, but each followed a very different path to their reunion in New York City some 15 years later. Tonight’s performance will trace some of those pathways, while blurring old lines between chamber music, experimental music, pop and jazz.
