Animals and Giraffes, a collaboration between Poet/Critic Claudia La Rocco and Composer/Musician Phillip Greenlief, celebrates the debut release of JULY with a performance at the Center for New Music involving many of the finest SF Bay Improvisers.
The recording features poetry by La Rocco combined with improvisations and re-imagined in the recording studio. The result is a collage of language, virtuosic improvisation and the use of the recording studio as a compositional tool. Musicians featured: David Boyce, Jon Raskin, Aurora Josephson, Tim Perkis, Karen Stackpole, John Shiurba, Evelyn Davis, and Dapplegray.
