**Terzet**t returns to Anchor House of Artists' Experimental Performance Arena in Northampton, for an May evening of live music joined by special guest trumpeter, Dan Clucas from Los Angeles. This will be a performance of improvised music. The listener is invited to "feel" it, rather than "get it" intellectually or cognitively. However, the music is completely open to interpretation and individual experience. **Dan Clucas** comes from Los Angeles where he studied with Bobby Bradford and Wadada Leo Smith, post-bop and free-jazz royalty. He has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Nels Cline, Alex Cline, Steuart Liebig, Vinny Golia, Joe Baiza, Rich West, and Michael Vlatkovich, to name a few. **Ron Freshley** has been living in the Pioneer Valley for over 40 years, composing and improvising music as a leader or member of different ensembles. He studied with Lee Konitz and Yusef Lateef and has worked with David Wertman, Lynn Lovell, Karl Rausch, and many others. Originally from the northwest, **Jon Messmer** has been living in the Pioneer Valley for more than 20 years, playing freestyle double bass with a variety of musicians including Paul Flaherty, Chris Corsano, Randal Colbourne, and Kazuto Sato. Ron and Jon have been creating together for over 15 years, have worked with Doug LaRosa and Adam Scotera in Lila 33 and have an ensemble called 4 Gong Confucian with Batya Sobel and Bob Markey. **Anders Griffen**, a Northampton resident for four years, is a recent collaborator of theirs. He is a native of Brooklyn, New York, who took part in the Harlem and downtown jazz scenes and was part of the Antifolk scene in its heyday, performing with a diverse range of artists from Regina Spektor and Diane Cluck to Roy Campbell and Frank Lowe. ___ ___ The music is alive as a devotional form, not necessarily in the religious sense, rather creating an opening or interruption that allows us to experience what is hidden and to accept with passion our given situation. When we experience our music this way, it subverts our absorption in time, reveals the depth of our own reality.
