   Squidco In-Store Performance, April 11
Endangered Blood Endangered Blood

Chris Speed: tenor saxophone

Oscar Noriega: alto saxophone,
bass clarinet

Trevor Dunn: bass

Jim Black: drums

Wednesday, April 11
8:00 PM
928 North 4th St.
Downtown Wilmington, NC

$10, $8 with student ID.

Endangered Blood is a burning acoustic jazz quartet from New York City - four experienced musicians in their prime, playing at their best. On their self-titled debut CD, Chris Speed (tenor saxophone), Oscar Noriega (alto saxophone and bass clarinet), Trevor Dunn (bass) and Jim Black (drums) carry on the genre- pushing, limitless experimentation of bands like Alas No Axis, The Claudia Quintet and Electric Masada (all of which include EB members). Endangered Blood also is an urgent example of the jazz tradition's continuing power to inspire musicians to reinvent, reinterpret and re-shape. Most of all it is a celebration of long-term commitment - to friendships and to music itself.

The Squid's Ear The Squid's Ear is Squidco's companion online magazine, featuring reviews of Squidco items from independent writers.
