AND/OR plays music for your insane bedtime story. Stream of consciousness left amuck in a candy store of emotional impulses. This guitar (Brian Ferrel) and drums (Levy Lorenzo) duo explores both free-improvised structures and fixed compositions. levylorenzo.com 9 pm Ray Anderson, trombone Named five straight years as best trombonist in the Down Beat Critics Poll and declared "the most exciting slide brass player of his generation" by the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD, Anderson has shown remarkable range. He has led or co-led a daunting assortment of tradition-minded and experimental groups, big bands, blues and funk projects and even a trombone quartet. He is recognized as an original compelling composer and has recorded more than 70 of his own compositions with these groups. In the tradition of Louis Armstrong, he is a colorful and exuberant performer and a spirited vocalist who induces smiles with his unusual split tones and screech effects.
