“On June 6 at Kung Fu Necktie, an intriguing trio of Philly mainstays will celebrate the release of their new album, Channels. Guitarist Tim Motzer is an eclecticist by nature, a conjurer of immersive and richly textured sonic environments that he can mold to fit a surprising range of contexts – as evidenced by his work with such diverse artists as Ursula Rucker, King Britt and Kurt Rosenwinkel. John Swana has traditionally been associated with a more straight-ahead style, though he’s ventured into a staggering array of situations, especially as he’s supplemented his core instrument, the trumpet, with valve trombone and especially the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). The trio is completed by drummer Doug Hirlinger, whose impressionistic touch helps illuminate the mesmeric experience.” The Key: Philly Jazz Guide: Top Picks1k presents an evening of expansive new music celebrating the release of Swana, Motzer, Hirlinger CHANNELS on 1k Recordings. The night will include solo sets from each musician, and a trio set closing the night. Visuals by Syd. The new album will be available as a deluxe limited edition signed/numbered 6 panel CD. We look forward to seeing you there! $5 Tickets at the door or here in advance: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1866828?utm_medium=bkssolo sets:Tim Motzer – guitar, electronicsJohn Swana – EVI, trumpet, valve trombone, electronicsMan From Nowhere – drums, electronicstrio set:Channels – Swana, Motzer, HirlingerThursday June 6, 2019Kung Fu Necktie1250 North Front StreetPhiladelphia7-10pmconcert info here:https://www.facebook.com/events/275740189884790/Channels album info here:https://1krecordings.bandcamp.com/album/channels *** 1KRecordings 4 Jun, 2019 Events, Featured
