The Either/Orchestra
28th Birthday Party
The
E/O's first show was at the Cambridge Public LIbrary on December 17,
1985, so technically this is a 28 years and two days party.
We'll have all ten of our members plus guest spots from
alumni Jerome Deupree, Kenny Freundlich, Mike Rivard,
Bob Nieske, Colin Fisher and Dan Fox.
Essential auxiliary assistance from Jared Sims and Dave Harris
Light show by a.minor, weather permitting
We'll be featuring music from deep in the archives, charts we haven't played in years or decades.
Here's how it works:
It's a party! We'll provide a good start on the food and drink, but you are heartily encouraged to BYO.
We ask an extremely modest suggested donation of $12. If you want to
throw in more we would love it, as the performance will be sporting
almost 20 musicians.
Doors: 7:30
First set: 8:30 approx
Second set: 10:30 approx

Agachiko
Yes!
Ou
“Charismatic, searing live
performances...[this septet] began as a Nina Simone tribute, but soon
expanded to a variety of blues, jazz, pop, and Agachiko originals.
What’s exciting about this project is not just Agachiko’s vocal
performances (powered by a clear, powerful instrument, knife-sharp
diction, and a touch of warm vibrato), but the fully realized
conception.
The Either/Orchestra’s Russ Gershon wrote the
arrangements...[the flute-trumpet-tenor sax horn section's] agile,
piquant backing choruses, obbligatos, and solos are the perfect
complement to Agachiko’s emotional explorations...
Yes to this one."
–Jon Garelick, Boston Globe
"Fresh...very entertaining." –the jazzpage.com
