Formed in 1999, Sweeter Than the Day began simply as the acoustic incarnation of Zony Mash. The band played weekly shows at Seattle's Baltic Room, and quickly became Wayne Horvitz's first piano based ensemble in over 10 years. Their original compositions are beautiful, angular and inventive. Wayne has played or recorded with the likes Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Julian Priester and is the 2002 recipient of the Rockefeller grant.
Kiki Band's innate eclecticism makes them hard to categorize as they dip their toes in jazz, funk, soul, blues, free jazz, klezmer, African and Eastern music, psychedelic rock and more! They are a quartet comprised of 4 musicians/composers (3 from Japan) led by Kazutoki Umezu, who has been at the forefront of the Tokyo, New York and and European progressive jazz scenes over the last forty years. This is an excellent chance to see some mind-blowing world class musical exploration in the friendly confines of the goodfoot!
