This year is the great bassist Henry Grimes's 80th year on the planet, and he will be touring in western Europe in September and October, playing upright bass and violin and speaking some of his poetry, with his Magic Science Quartet, comprising the great alto saxophonist, flutist, EVI and Casio VL-Tone player Marshall Allen, long-time leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra; the Swiss pianist and shaman drummer intriguingly known as Ka; and Avreeayl Ra, drummer / bamboo flutist / percussionist from the AACM / Chicago. http://henrygrimes.com
The "Magic Science Quartet" is a group of extraordinary musical and spiritual powers, steeped in history, mystery, and artistry, casting magic science spells to uplift humanity above these troubled times.
