FOUR SUNDAYS IN MAY

The Deconstruction Orchestra

Sax demon Josh Allen returns for a four-week residency with his monster avant-improv ensemble – bigger and badder than ever! Featuring such local lights as Henry Kaiser, Darren Johnston, Ava Mendoza, CJ Borosque, Tom Djll, Ron Heglin, Roberto Haven of the Church of Coltrane, and Rent Romus.

Josh opens at 8pm playing duo with a different drummer on each date:

May 2 - Kjell Nordeson
May 9 - Spirit
May 16 - Miguel Barrera
May 23 - William Winant

Then at 9pm the Orchestra burns the whole place down!

Here's what just three of 'em sound like:
