Tonight's Performance: Every first Friday of the month, acclaimed guitarist Randy Roos and multi-instrumentalist Dave Kobrenski (Fula flute, djembe, ngoni) collaborate with a rotating cast of outstanding musicians to bring you a live musical experience like no other. This month, the KR Collective also features Mike Rossi (bass), Steve Hunt (piano), and Tim Gilmore (drums).
Together, the KR Collective delivers dynamic performances that draw from their diverse musical backgrounds, which range from jazz, world, classical and beyond. Their music often has minimal predetermined structure, allowing for a type of creative spontaneity and freedom that goes beyond even “free jazz.”
Over the years, these musicians have played in a wide variety of projects (often together), including Club d’Elf, Urethane, Donkilo Afro Funk, Hall of Mirrors, 7oddSeven, and many more. While they often draw song material from these sources, they have also developed a form of “musical telepathy” that permits them to transcend musical boundaries and bring the music to places that surprise even themselves-and that always delight the audience.
