Pianist Thollem McDonas is returning to St. Louis with his latest project, the bandTSIGOTI (pictured), for a free concert at 8:00 p.m., Thursday, May 13 at theSchlafly Tap Room, 2100 Locust downtown. The St. Louis band Magic Citywill open the show.
McDonas, who has performed in St. Louisseveral times in recent years as part of his seemingly non-stop touring, incorporates elements of free improvisation, classical music, jazz, rock and more into his solo work. TSIGOTI, signed to the famed free-jazz label ESP-Disk, is described as “a collaborative and improvisational quazi-punk band dedicated to expressing their opposition of war, authoritarian regimes, and violent religious extremes.”
TSIGOTI’s album Private Poverty Speaks To The People Of The Party (ESP 4057) was released in January, just after they wrapped up a tour of Italy. Besides McDonas on piano and vocals, TSIGOTI includes Jacopo Andreini (guitar), Matteo Bennici (bass) and Andrea Caprara (drums).
