Martin Nevin • Trevor Dunn's PROOF Readers Jul 13
7:30
Trevor Dunn put PROOF Readers together with the sole purpose of playing the beautiful & often neglected song book of Ornette Coleman. In 1993 the release of the complete Atlantic recordings “Beauty Is A Rare Thing” served as a catalyst for me in transcribing over 50 Ornette tunes. That endeavor in itself was a learning experience that informed my own writing in terms of form, variation, melody, and improvisation and led me towards an understanding of his harmolodic approach. The name PROOF Readers came from an unreleased song of the same name. Both Ornette’s musical & verbal language toy with syntax in their inimitable variation of normal harmony/grammar.
tha band is: Trevor Dunn (bass), Darius Jones (alto), Nate Wooley (trumpet), Ryan Sawyer (drums)
