On Thursday, April 27, at 7:30pm, Tom's Place presents


                 Susan Alcorn (pedal steel guitar)
                                and
                   Phillip Greenlief (saxophone)

Susan Alcorn is a Baltimore, Maryland-based composer and musician
who has received international recognition as an innovator of the
pedal steel guitar, an instrument whose sound is commonly associated
with country and western music. Having absorbed the technique of
C&W pedal steel playing and refined it to a virtuosic level, her
original music reveals the influence of free jazz, avant-garde
classical music, Indian ragas, indigenous traditions, and other
musics of the world.  The Guardian (UK) describes her music as
"beautiful, glassy and liquid, however far she strays from pulse
and conventional harmony."


Susan is known primarily as a solo performer, though she has
worked with artists as diverse as Pauline Oliveros, Eugene
Chadbourne and John Butcher. She also has a long-standing
collaboration with Bay Area saxophonist Phillip Greenlief,
with whom she will be playing at this show.

We're pretty stoked about this duo. Susan has been on our must-book
list for a long time, and every time we hear PG it makes us happy.
This will be a must-see evening.
