Genre: liberation jazz, dissident swing and contemporary composition

THE RED MICROPHONE: John Pietaro (vibraphone, percussion), Ras Moshe (reeds, flute), Rocco John Iacovone (reeds), and guest bassist Philip Sirois

The Red Microphone is a NYC-based New Music/New Jazz quartet of rad musicians engaging in a repertoire drenched in liberation jazz, dissident swing and contemporary composition at once compelling and patently “downtown”. Call it post-Ornette, Post-Dolphy, post-Occupy music. The Red Microphone has performed at such New York City spaces as Shapeshifter Lab, ABC No Rio, the Brecht Forum, 17 Frost, ZirZamin and Downtown Music Gallery, among others. The ensemble’s debut CD, The Red Microphone Speaks! was released in April (Dissident Arts label). Self-produced but mastered by legendary producer Kramer, the disc features sweeping free improvisation, original works, unique adaptations of modernist sounds and protest song, and militant prose and poetry that recalls the New Objectivity, the New Thing and the No Wave.

HARMOLODIC MONK!: Matt Lavelle (alto clarinet, trumpet), John Pietaro (vibraphone)
Harmolodic Monk is the convergence of forward-looking visions in improvisational music conceived by noted multi-instrumentalist Matt Lavelle (known for his work in the Bern Nix Quartet and his own 12 Houses Orchestra). Expanding the expansionist repertoire of Thelonious Monk by way of the Harmolodic concept created by Ornette Coleman, the duet of Matt Lavelle (alto clarinet, trumpet, cornet) and John Pietaro (vibraphone, percussion) embarks on a new sound. Harmolodic Monk is now preparing for their debut CD.
