TIN/BAG at Cornelia Street Cafe
New York, NY
NY - New York
January 17th, 2010
TIN/BAG, the bi-coastal duo of trumpeter Kris Tiner (LA) and guitarist Mike Baggetta (NYC) deals with a music that is spare, ethereal, and highly exploratory, "clearly cut from cloth that hasn't been designed yet" (Improvijazzation Nation). Both are among a generation of young creative musicians contributing original new music and pushing a re-examination of the roles and possibilities of their instruments. Tiner and Baggetta have extensively toured the United States presenting their original duo compositions and improvisations. Their two previously issued CDs, 'There, Just as You Look For It' issued on pfMentum and 'And Begin Again' issued on Evander Music, have been met with high praise by both critics and audience members alike.
"Radiant... there's an open, intensely emotional quality to the duo's playing... spare, haunting, with hints of modernist avant garde gestures." -Andy Hamilton, The Wire (UK)
"Excellent... trumpeter Kris Tiner and guitarist Mike Baggetta explore abstract yet jazz-derived realms of expansive lyricism and liquid melody." -Time Out New York
This tour is made possible, in part, by a Subito grant through American Composers Forum
