obligatory promotional bollucks - NHIC @ Firehouse 12

If you live in New Haven and you like weird music, please check this out. Somehow I might be the only one who thinks that the NYTimes article is somewhat unflattering, making us seem like we're a bunch of white dudes philosophically and musically stuck in the past (I hesitate to address that fact directly...) but it will help with publicity, anyway. And the shows promise to be among the more tightly organized of NHIC performances. Both groups participated in some form or another in this year's New Haven Ideat Village festival most recently, and are drawing on some intriguing compositional and improvisational ideas to what is hopefully a rewarding end.

and now, the formalized promotional material....

The New Haven Improvisers Collective will be performing at Firehouse12 on Saturday, November 7th with sets at 8:30 and 10pm.
This performance will celebrate the release of the New CD, Inflection

There was a very nice article in the New York times about NHIC.

There were some strong reviews of Inflection in the New Haven Advocate and the Hartford Courant.
