Cathy Segal-Garcia’s Noontime Hang, featuring GARTH POWELL, drums, percussion, composition, curator!

Cathy Segal-Garcia’s Noontime Hang, live interviews with musical artists!
My special guest today, 12/2/24, LIVE, is GARTH POWELL, drums, percussion, composition, curator, sound expert!
(My 596th day’s guest!)

For the percussion arts - time, rhythm, and pulse are undeniable, non-negotiable components of the craft. Yet, the sonic domain remains for many, a peripheral concern. Timbre is not only of equal importance; it is an integral part of the harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic construct. All four exist in the parallel sub-division of frequency and waveform. This relationship demands understanding, discipline, and mastery. In Garth’s music, these elements are meticulously combined, creating a transcendent force enveloping the listener. Ultimately, we are drawn into the ecstatic, and the inexplicable.

Garth has recorded and or performed with numerous jazz and improvisational artists of note, including:
Bruce Ackley, Steve Adams, Josh Allen, Marshall Allen, Bonnie Barnett, Tony Bevan, Jaap Blonk, Bobby Bradford, John Butcher, Eugene Chadbourne, Alex Cline, Nels Cline, George Cremaschi, Michael Dessen, Dominic Duvall, Arrington De Dianyso, Marco Eneidi, Douglas Ewart, Tara Flandreau, Fred Frith, Jeff Gauthier, Gianni Gebbia, Lelio Giannetto, Vinny Golia, Matthew Goodheart, Greg Goodman, Phillip Greenlief, Mats Gustafsson, Rick Helzer, Henry Kaiser, Jeff Kaiser, Elliot Kallen, Peter Kowald, John Lauffenburger, Anne LeBaron, Steuart Liebig, Raphe Malik, Miya Masaoka, Tom McNalley, Shoko Mikagi, Eddie Moore, Larry Ochs, Pauline Oliveros, Hal Onserud, Bill Plake, Jon Raskin, Paul Riola, Gino Robair, Donald Robinson, William Roper, Damon Smith, Wadada Leo Smith, Glenn Spearman, Jeff Schwartz, Vladimir Tarasov, Bert Turetzky, Saadet Turkos, Michael Marcus, Peter Van Bergen, Michael Vlatkovich, Brian Walsh, Scott Walton, Richard Wood, Jack Wright, and Zen Widow.

“Powell plays in a deceptively serene manner, establishing an illusion of tranquility that is often shattered by his breakaway tactics. He is a mercurial performer who turns the direction of the performance around with his dynamic execution and just as easily reverts to pensive, pastoral expression. Segments filled with tenderness and compassion often follow his most robust playing.” Frank Rubolino – One Final Note
