Gold Sparkle Trio brings free jazz to Philadelpia
BY NASH ADAMSON
In print | Published January 27, 2005
The Gold Sparkle Band is a New York-based quartet that plays acoustic avant-garde jazz influenced by the style of Ornette Coleman’s band of the late ‘50s and early ’60s. Expanding upon the piano-less format of Coleman’s groundbreaking quartet, GSB has moved to the forefront of the free jazz world.
The Gold Sparkle Trio, GSB minus Rob Mallard (sax/flute), features Charles Waters (sax/clarinet), Andrew Barker (drums) and Adam Roberts (bass) delicately playing the line between loose composition and collective improvisation.
Now on tour after a date with free jazz leader Ken Vandermark, the Trio’s stop in Philadelphia is an exciting event for anyone interested in contemporary jazz.
The Gold Sparkle Trio will perform an 8 p.m. show at the Slought Foundation (4017 Walnut St., Philadelphia) on Friday, Jan. 28. Student tickets are $10 and parking is free.
For more information on the show, check out Slought’s website at www.slought.org.
