| Gunwale in concert |
Columbia’s if ART Gallery presents on Wednesday, October
5, 2016, 8:30 p.m., a concert by veteran Chicago saxophonist Dave Rempis and
his trio Gunwale. In addition to Rempis, the trio consists of Albert Wildeman
on bass and Ryan Packard on percussion and electronics. The concert is part of
a North American tour in support of the trio’s first record, Polynya.
Admission is $10; concert,
at 8:30; doors open at 8:00.
Through
Gunwale, veteran Rempis teams up with two of the up-and-coming
stars from the next generation of Chicago improvisers. Packard is known
mostly for his extensive work as a composer and percussionist within the
thriving contemporary classical scene in Chicago. Wildeman has achieved fame
for his meteoric rise from novice instrumentalist to one of the busiest players
in town after relocating to Chicago from the Netherlands in 2011 to immerse
himself in the city’s broad-shouldered music world. These two contribute
noticeably fresh perspectives to this ongoing and ever-evolving local dialogue,
a world of which Rempis, who has performed in Columbia on many occasions, has
been a flagship member for almost two decades. As a trio, their voice
carries a unique shape, combining a love for full-on blasts of energy with a
sensitivity to the smallest details, resulting in music that can be a freight
train one moment, and an insectoid microcosm the next.
