Burton Greene and Perry Robinson Play The Boyd Vance Theater

Dear Austin fans of jazz, please don't sleep on this performance by Burton Greene and Perry Robinson. The organizers at the Church of the Friendly Ghost are tickled pink about this performance, which should tell you something: "Since 2003, in the course of organizing over 400 performances, this date with Burton Greene and Perry Robinson stands out as one of the most highly anticipated within our organization as well as the close community of musicians and great lovers of new music that we have become friends with over the years."

Greene and Robinson have worked together many times over the years, and their duet on John Zorn's Tzadik label, Two Voices in the Desert, should be out any day now. Greene, a pianist, got his start in New York's free jazz scene of the '60s, and has since explored the bounds of klezmer music. Robinson, a clarinetist, has performed and recorded with Dave Brubeck and the Galaxie Dream Band. He also co-wrote a book about his experiences in and out of the jazz world.
