Another family of activities, or a mechanic, closer to music #improv than tabletop games. A non-traditional-jazz #jamSession seems to be the most natural scenery for it...

In this "music game formats" series, there were "pros" and "cons" sections on the right. Only unclear "double edge swords", or "matters of taste" are mentioned this time, but maybe "risk of harmful stereotypes" should be warned against on the picture too.

Talking is hard! Good thing we don't record ourselves talking on a regular basis. Oh, wait...

On our next episode, an antique claddagh ring unexpectedly sends Charlotte 300 years into the past. How does a modern woman blend into a society that treats women as second class citizens? And more importantly, how does she get home?

Join us on Tuesday for Claddagh Ring!

Rashied Ali Quintet – Sidewalks In Motion @Hakarl : His playing on Sidewalks In Motion bears a fair amount of resemblance — a drummer that’s worth listening to. Lots of big dynamics in paradiddles, ever-present and holding things down, but rarely bandstanding. A lot of skittering goes on, but never into the realm of free #improv. … a #jazz record through and through and unpretentiously so. freq.org.uk/reviews/rashied-al

Kate Shortt and Alcyona Mick – Convergence And Variations The end result is Convergence And Variations, a lovely melding of the recognised and the unexpected; a meeting of two like minds who gently push one another in directions that they may not have chosen to head separately, using pieces by the likes of #Bach, #Schubert and #Satie
#piano #classical #improv as jumping-off points for their collective imagination. freq.org.uk/reviews/kate-short

Several years ago at Cleveland ConCoction, alien anthropology researchers B'Lazzo the Phlop'Globblen and Bob tried to understand the strange economic transactional customs of Mardi Gras on Earth, alarmed at the dangers represented by the cheap plastic beads seeming to lower the intelligence of the typical human male specimen!

Happy Carnevale, today! 💚💜💛💚💜💛💚💜💛

And this weekend we return to Cleveland ConCoction for more on-stage fun!
