Coyote Jump World Fusion in Concert at Willits Community Theatre June 8th
COYOTE JUMP IN CONCERT at Willits Community Theatre 8 pm June 8th One Show Only
In its trio incarnation, Coyote Jump triangulates the multifarious multi-instrumentalism of pianist, guitarist and composer Colin Farish with the sumptuous strings of violin virtuoso Savannah Jo Lack and the pan-global grooves of master percussionist Will Clipman in a sound that defies easy categorization but could fairly be described as contemporary world chamber fusion. Improvising freely in and around Colin's eclectic compositions, the trio can soar from whisper-quiet passages of exquisite delicacy to high-energy, foot-stomping, aisle-filling trance-dance rave-upssometimes in the space of one song! Drawing on classical, jazz, folk-pop and tribal influences as diverse as the human experience itself, Coyote Jump will have you howling with delight and beaming with silent inner light as they share an evening of sophisticated fun
WILL CLIPMAN
WILL CLIPMAN began playing his father's drums and his mother's piano at the age of three. He played his first professional gig at fourteen, and has since then mastered a pan-global palette of over one hundred percussion instruments in addition to the traditional drumset. Will is a six-time GRAMMY Nominee, a three-time Native American Music Award Winner, a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award Winner, a New Age Reporter Music Award Winner, and a two-time TAMMIE Award Winner; and has been inducted into the Tucson Musicians Museum for his contributions to the musical community in his hometown. Will has recorded over sixty albums, including over thirty for Canyon Records, where he is regarded as the house percussionist. In addition to his solo work, Will performs with R. Carlos Nakai, William Eaton, Solvei & ZumaSOL, Amber Norgaard, Gabriel Ayala, and Coyote Jump, among many other internationally-acclaimed artists and ensembles. Will's solo CD Pathfinder earned a GRAMMY Nomination for Best New Age Album. His Planet of Percussion performance and workshop provides a hands-on tour of world music rhythm and polyrhythm.

SAVANNAH JO LACK
As a little girl, Savannah Jo built tree houses, grew vegetables and rode her bike around the sprawling streets of suburban Brisbane, Australia. Sometime around the age of 4, a violin bit her. Whilst not fatal, the incident did leave her with a strange bite mark on her neck and a long-standing love of all things string. Fast-forward 20 years and Savannah Jo Lack has left her own strange mark on the world. She and her violin have carved several enviable niches, none of which could completely contain them. Known to some as a violin soloist, to others as a string arranger and session musician, and to others as a composer and improv jazz musician, Savannah is an international woman of mystery. Until now, Savannah was best known to Australian audiences for her work with indie instrumental group, Trinkets, whose two albums earned her critical acclaim as well as a Golden Fiddle award for "Best CD, featuring a Violinist".Now dividing her time between homes in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Savannah reveals yet another layer, with the birth of her debut solo album, "Knitting Songs", a collection of breezy, engaging tunes, woven lovingly with wit and dexterity, and delivered at a mesmerizing back-porch-rocking-chair pace. Part earthy goddess, part sophisticate and mischievous six year old, Savannah describes "Knitting Songs' as, 'red earth and desert sky with glistening strings and pixie twists'.
