Mama Buzz Cafe Presents
7 pm David Boyce - Phillip Greenlief duo
8 pm Clevenger Three

David Boyce & Phillip Greenlief - tenor saxophones

Calling upon a variety of post-jazz sources for exploring free improvisation, this classic two-tenor saxophone duo (sans rhythm section) delivers a free-wheeling, melodic romp that juggles soulful noise and lyrical grooves. Come out and catch this new duo formed by two of the SF Bay Area’s most respected post-jazz tenor saxophonists.

8 pm - Clevenger Three
Nathan Clevenger - guitar
Lisa Mezzacappa - bass
Aaron Novik - clarinets

Examining the chamber-jazz model pioneered by groups like the Jimmy Giuffre trio, the trio performs moody, atmospheric compositions by Nathan Clevenger that give these three musicians lots of freedom to develop melodic improvisation.

Cost: $5
