This Music (TM) Presents is a Boston musician’s initiative to recognize the creativity of many who haven’t been given the stage as leaders, often younger than the Jazz scene veterans; those with acknowledgment who can create a new project and musical ideas; and the unsung “gems” who aren’t in the public’ eye and deserve to be. The emphasis is on the freer forms, the adventurous (to help find a “home”).

Tonight’s Performance:

Gían Pérez - Solo Guitar

Gían Pérez is a multi-disciplinary artist, improviser, and composer from Puerto Rico, based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work focuses on the dissection, subversion, and fermentation of form. Recently, Pérez has worked with artists like Marc Edwards, gabby fluke-mogul, Brandon Lopez, among others. He has performed at venues like The Stone, Downtown Music Gallery, and Joe’s Pub. By extending the guitar to its extremes as a physical material, Pérez denatures the electric guitar beyond its ascribed historical identity, envisioning a musical language that was never conquered and had been left instead to govern itself. His next solo guitar album, Ñ, will be available on Ossicles Records early this year.

Gían Pérez y Tomatillo Psychedelic Cumbia Especial

Gían Pérez joins Tomatillo for a special psychedelic cumbia set!

Tomatillo is a groove-forward quartet blending cinematic flair with global influences. Inspired by 1970s Italian film soundtracks, John Zorn’s boundary-pushing creativity, and the rich textures of Middle Eastern and Latin American music, their original compositions are immersive and adventurous. The band features Martin Gohary (piano), Eric Barber (sax), Carlos Herrand Pou (drums), and Doug Harrison (bass).
