Come on out for an evening of improvised music featuring visiting acoustic and amplified trombonist Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø solo and in a quintet. Also on the bill are Worcester stalwarts Lean (Mickey O'Hara and Seamus Williams) in a trio with Abdul Sherzai.

Norwegian trombonist Henrik M N chose the trombone and began playing in the local marching band at the age of seven. Not really knowing what he signed up for, twenty some years later he is still wrestling with the instrument, using its crudeness as a creative challenge and vehicle to unearth it's seemingly limitless possibilities. Utilizing a wide spectrum of playing techniques, from pure long tones to noise and the almost inaudible, he often works balancing the intuitive with the precisely constructed. He'll be performing a solo as well as in a quartet with Jeb Bishop, Damon Smith, Jesse Kenas Collins, and Michael Rosenstein.

Watching Lean, the duo of Mickey O'Hara and Seamus R Williams, perform is like sitting ringside at a cross between a high-speed chess match and a game of Battleship. The inclusion of Abdul H Sherzai for a trio performance will make this all the more fun!
