My belief is that art should not be comforting; for comfort,
we have mass entertainment, and one another. Art should provoke,
disturb, arouse our emotions, expand our sympathies in directions we
may not anticipate and may not even wish.
-Joyce Carol Oates

Life is made of desire and decision.
-Vladimir Nabokov

Freedom lies in being bold.
-Robert Frost

Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.
-Emily Dickinson

10:00 PM Dave Fox Four "adventure in sound"

Featuring: Bruno Raberg (bass), Phil Sargent (guitar) and Josh Rosen (keys, effects)
Boston area drummer Dave Fox, after spending many years under tutelage from his mentor Bob Gullotti, is quickly becoming a staple on the local scene as a sideman to many of the area's top jazz musicians. On Thursday April 17th, we welcome him as he brings his new project, “adventure in sound” to the Lily Pad! Based in (but certainly not limited to) Jazz, Rock and World Music influences, improvisations and compositions, the group features three daring musicians and innovators in Phil Sargent, Bruno Raberg and Josh Rosen. Pianist Rosen “evokes a refreshingly relaxed openness…yet burns with the best.” Guitarist Sargent made his professional debut at 14 and has worked with a number of prominent musicians including John Lockwood, Matt Wilson, Thomas Kneeland and others. Bassist Raberg has 5 CD's as a leader and has performed with the likes of Bob Moses, Ben Monder, and Billy Hart to name only a few.

Please join the band for what will no doubt be an exciting night of sonic

explorations and improvisations as they make their debut at the Lily Pad at 10PM!!
