Alt Tal:

Past Gigs

Here are some of the venues and parties at which we've had the pleasure of performing.

Feisty fourth Fridays. Well, mostly fourth.

We've played as part of the North Beach Jazz Festival,

Art in the Alley,

The 50th Anniversary of the publishing of Jack Kerouac's On The Road, and

Parties for Vesiuvio's regulars.

Catalyst Cocktails is a San Francisco cocktail lounge and bar, decorated in a 1930's Art Deco style complete with a fabulous small dinner menu.

This is a great opportunity to meet the artists represented, including Cynthia Tom, Ron Newman and Tatiana Lyskova, in mediums of Painting, Prints, Photography, Ceramics and Jewelry.

For a frollicking fernet-fueled good time, treat yourself to Alt Tal at your favorite dive, the Odeon.

Alt Tal will perform several new tunes, like John Ashcroft, as well as some Mingus.

GESTURE: ABSTRACT AND NONFIGURATIVE ART

The trio invites John Gordon to collaborate on our program of originals (plus Mingus' Fables of Faubus!)

Phrasing in lyric with its odd breaths and resolve, Alt Tal renders it sassily. Experience Alt Tal headlining at Club Ego, on Friday, 16 January 2004.

Bringing out the Soprano for Elaine and l'Amoureuse de mon Père, Alt Tal gets shockingly candid, then gives you a fistful of black eye with Mossad and the ever-downtown The Nymph.

You trust
My feelings are true."
