Paul Hanson Improbable Territory
Improbable territory is where Berkeley-reared reed maestro Paul Hanson has spent his career. A fine tenor saxophonist, he’s distinguished himself as one of the world’s most formidable improvisational bassoonists, with a wide array of electronic effects at his fingertips. He’s collaborated with Wayne Shorter, Billy Cobham, Charlie Hunter, Michael Manring, Omar Sosa, and Béla Fleck, who hailed him as a fellow member of the odd-instruments club. For this recital, he performs solo electric bassoon with loops and effects, and duo with Berkeley pianist Unpil Baek, a similarly wide-ranging artist, playing Hanson originals as well as tunes by Glen Campbell, Wayne Shorter, and Sting. -Andrew Gilbert; East Bay Express
