about

Dangerous Odds

20 February 1997

Live concert recording

at La Provenzale, Madison, WI

Volume 1 of 2

Dangerous Odds was our band consisting of a core group of two poets—Ron Ellis and Larry Giles—who performed their poems accompanied by spontaneously improvised music. The core group of musicians would as often just start making sounds evoked by the mood and words of the poem as we would have any structured plan—more often, in fact. This was the band where 95 percent of all the music was fully improvised, in all styles, with most members of the band playing multiple instruments. We became so practiced at pure improvisation that the band sometimes seemed telepathic.
