One of the avant-jazz/electronic/new music worlds most exceptional record labels; Norway's Rune Grammofon is having a series of shows in the US. The most concentrated of these is taking pace in San Francisco from Nov 3-5 - coinciding with the San Francisco Jazz Festival. This three-day run of Rune artists performing features the mighty improv/jazz monolithic power of Supersilent appearing on their first US domestic tour. Other wonders include vocal whirlwind Maja Ratkje and Horn/Reed Maestro Arve Henriksen. There are dates in Chicago, NYC and Vancouver BC the following week, with Seattle not being included as the city between stops on this tour - so you can bet I am making the trip to San Francisco for this one!
