JULIAN CALV | SARAH PENNA | ALEX STEWART

A concert featuring piano works, vocal canons, and other songs by the maverick composer Moondog performed by trimbist/vocalist Julian Calv, pianist Alex Stewart, and vocalist/percussionist Sarah Penna.
Louis Hardin AKA Moondog composed music creating an unexpected link between the resurgent science of counterpoint, Arapaho, Navajo, Blackfoot, and Sioux rhythms and song forms, the art of jazz improvisation, and the beginnings of a repetitive and minimalist aesthetic.
The concert spans Moondog’s career with selections from The Last Concert, Moondog: Piano Trimba, In Europe, A New Sound Of An Old Instrument, Moondog (1956); and includes comments about the music from Julian- who studied with Moondog’s only student, Stefan Lakatos.
