First time visit to Cafe OTO for master saxophonist Colin Stetson who's sustained lung-busting performances combine the kind of incredible techniques most often associated with the fringes of avant-garde praxis together with a compositional structure and melodic sensibility he has honed across the three volumes of his 'New History Warfare' series of releases...
COLIN STETSON
Colin Stetson was born and raised in Ann Arbor, MI and earned a degree in music from his hometown school, the University of Michigan, in 1997. Six years in San Francisco followed, then another four in Brooklyn, NY. Over this time, he developed his unique solo voice on saxophones and clarinets, culminating in the release of the album New History Warfare Vol. 1″ on Agoo Records in 2008 and a second volume on Constellation in 2011. The third and final part of the trilogy was released in April 2013.
Stetson now resides in Montreal, QC, and performs regularly on assorted saxophones, clarinets, cornet, french horn and flute.
Aside from his work as a soloist, Stetson has brought his talents to the stage and studio with dozens of artists over the past decade, including Mats Gustafsson, Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Feist, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, David Byrne, Jolie Holland, Sinead O’Connor, LCD Soundsystem, The National, Angelique Kidjo, and Anthony Braxton. Colin is also a member of the band Bon Iver.
