Nurturing the optimism that opportunities are returning for playing to live audiences, and celebrating the June 2021 release of their recording on ESP-Disk, A Civil Right, the San Francisco Bay Area’s Larry Ochs – Don Robinson Duo perform pieces influenced greatly by the heady traditions of free jazz and collective improvisation. Since 1962 when ESP produced the first USA release by Albert Ayler, a lot has changed - but Ochs/Robinson believe too much remains virtually the same. So their music, while influenced by many musical innovations and sociological developments that have become part of the firmament over the past 50+ years, still celebrates and revels in the spirit of sixties free jazz. This concert will be Ochs & Robinson’s first return to the Twin Cities since 2009 when they played with the group Drummer Core.
