Global illage Duo – improvisations for guitar and percussion

Global illage Duo performs this Saturday eve June 11 at 8 p.m. as part of a performance series curated by Ron Kravitz called “Rons Underground”. Its a wonder, and a unique environment—7pm community drum circle followed by a performance downstairs at 8. A discussion about the music and its methods will follow.

Master percussionist JIm Hamilton has played and recorded with Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Warren Smith, Odean Pope, Zakir Hussain, Dom Um Romao, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, among many others. Hamilton and Motzer have a long history of improvising together, most notably with their band Global illage, as well as in duo performance. They most recently performed on the 1k Sessions webcast this past April.

“Guitarist/composer Tim Motzer finds infinite joy in diversity. His output as a leader and sideman crisscrosses multiple musical universes, including jazz, fusion, hiphop, soul, electronica, and the avantgarde. Motzer gets to explore these genres and the intersections between them via his ubiquitous presence in the wildly deep and varied Philly scene.” Guitar Player Magazine
