Musical direction MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE w/ MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON & DEXTER STORY

9pm (doors 8pm) / $10 gets you into Emerald City for 1 extended journey down the yellow brick road

The Wizard of Oz is such the archetypal fantasy story and movie.

Judy Garland along with Victor Fleming brought us the definitive cinematic experience of it along with a timeless soundtrack of classic story-telling songs.

I can't remember first time I saw it, but it's always super fresh. It's been created for screen 19 times including silent film and animated versions and it's a storyline we're all well familiar with.

For this performance though, we'll be visiting several versions, mashed up and intertwined along with a completely improvised soundtrack performed by myself (MdCL), drummer DEXTER STORY and viola player (composer, conductor) MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON.

MIGUEL and DEXTER are two of my favorite musicians anywhere. You know Miguel from lovingly arranged full orchestral interpretations of J Dilla's creations in TIMELESS (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh g_fPD-Lhc) and his own recent large shows with the likes of Flying Lotus, Jose James, Pharoahe Monch, Bilal, Zap Mama and countless others.

DEXTER STORY is also such a creative force - a multi-instrumentalist performing with numerous different artists in as many different styles, he's one of my favorite people to improvise and create with bar none.

We're truly looking forward to an evening of spontaneous and limitless music-making inspired by the fantastic story that is

L. Frank Baum's THE WIZARD OF OZ.
