Lunchtime Concert
That Knife, That Witch (narrator, piano, bass)
Bruce Crossman, Waldo Garrido, and Evan Yanna Muru.
This freeform improvisation is sparked by the narrative sense of meditative space and drama in Aboriginal storyteller Evan Yanna Muru’s dreamtime spiritual narratives of place, which pianist Bruce Crossman and bassist Waldo Garrido respond to with meditative-to-explosive dialogues, drawing on Chilean Mapuche rhythms and momentary Asian-Pacific living colours.
