Alan Cook and the Crepuscule Trio CD release/performance in San Diego

Crepuscule Trio, just released "Unveil", their first major release on the Circumvention Music label.

The Crepuscule Trio is:
Alan Cook (drums/percussion), Ken Kawamura (saxophone), Anthony Shadduck (contrabass)

From the circumvention site:

Unveil is the result of a three year collaboration by the members of the Crepuscule Trio, saxophonist Ken Kawamura, contrabassist Anthony Shadduck, and drummer/percussionist Alan Cook. This recording marks the group's first full-length recording, as well as their debut on Circumvention Music. Inspired by a wide range of music including, but not limited to, jazz, avantgarde, modern classical music, experimental rock, indigenous world music, and creative spontaneous improvisation, Crepuscule Trio presents ten original pieces with compositional elements as varied as their influences. Each composition features both group and individual improvisational approaches which the trio has developed over their long association. Music made in the moment, but informed by years of study and experience, lies at the heart of the Crepuscule Trio’s first major release.

They will also be playing at the Kava Lounge in San Diego on Sunday, Nov. 8th, show starts at 7pm and the trio takes the stage around 8pm.

Welcome to the Creative Music in Southern California Blog

There are so many talented and creative musicians in Southern CA that get little to no recognition locally, not to mention nationally. I wish to shed some light on a geographic, musical area where artists are turning out a huge body of quality work and in turn, they are not getting the same kind of attention that their counterparts in other parts of the country and world seem to enjoy.

I hope this blog will start to change that and that it will become a valuable resource to the fans and artists of the much neglected SoCal Creative Music scene by promoting individual artists, their upcoming performances, and new CD releases.

If you are an artist, please send me your gig info, CD release info, and what have you, so that we can try and build a more coherent scene and get some much needed recognition for the SoCal Creative Music.
