Event Vinny Golia Quintet at LACMA Friday night jazz LACMA Central Court 5905 Wilshire Bl., Los Angeles, CA 90036 Friday, July 4, 2003 -- 5:30-8:30pm Free admission List of performers/composers: * Vinny Golia, woodwinds (bio) * Nels Cline, electric guitar (site) * Alex Cline, drums (bio) * Michael Vlatkovich, trombone (bio) * Scott Walton, bass (bio) Summary:    Vinny Golia is one of the reigning kings of free improvisation in the Los Angeles area, and beyond. He also teaches at CalArts, including leading a large improvising ensemble of students.    What a great first event for us to see! Vinny and the gang were in great form, taking things just slightly "inside" with a number of written compositions using metered time, but still with lots of room for the free improvisation for which they are so well-known, as well as free stretches unto themselves, and mostly continuous segues from piece to piece. The weather was warm, but cooled nicely in the dusk, and there was a fine turnout. -- Dan Krimm [New Music TBD] - Home
