– 7:00PM - $5.00 - Club Café 56-58 South 12th Street, South Side 412-431-4950.
This show is the first in a while without our recent guest poets, so we'll be
bringing the big amps. Opening up will be the Improv Project, featuring my good
friend and great bass player Eric Riebling. “When Pittsburgh’s erstwhile
defenders of the avant-jazz-rock keep, the Water Shed 5tet, called it quits, it
provided Pittsburgh’s cultural map with a shake-up of Soviet Union separation
proportions. It can be argued that none of the post-Water Shed groups that have
sprung up in recent times rival their parent in balancing somewhat wide appeal
with sheer musical inventiveness.
