H*E*R is
Yvette Perez on vocals, keybds
Peter Zummo on trombone
Danny Tunick on vibes
with special guest Darius Jones on alto sax

avant-garde pop music of dreamy songs about housework, nature, financial planning, corporate housing, plants, insects, pets, cleaning, identity, and family.

H*E*R blends minimalism, jazz, and pop influences in delicate, mysterious, and sophisticated tunes about memory and the outer world that blur the line between improv and song; between prismatic recollection and blighted reality. The trio is led by the Carla Bley of avant-pop music vocalist/keyboardist Yvette Perez (also of Birdbrain) whose sensuously sparse soundscapes are reminiscent of Annette Peacock and Laurie Anderson. Legendary trombonist/composer Peter Zummo (Arthur Russell, "Blue" Gene Tyranny, Teo Macero) contributes some of his compositions and crafts masterful melodies and improvisations. Vibraphone and percussion player Danny Tunick (Elliot Sharp's Carbon Orchestra, Arnold Dreyblatt, Rebecca Moore) adds distinctive textures and floating rhythms. The group performs this evening with the brilliant alto-saxophonist Darius Jones (Mike Pride, Trevor Dunn, William Hooker) as special guest.
