One of the Valley’s most consistently inventive and stimulating musical improvisors.

Whether glissading over the keyboard or wailing on the balafon, David Arner is one of the Valley’s most consistently inventive and stimulating musical improvisors.  This Saturday, October 16th [1993], he’ll be joined by Futu Futu’s Joakim Lartey and instrument designer Steve Silverman for an all-percussion concert at the Artist’s Co-op, 60 Broadway, Tivoli, at 8:30 p.m. Drums, bells, cymbals, kalimbas, and one-of-a-kind percussive devices will make for a most irresistible gig– the penultimate performance in the Co-op’s October Festival of Words and Music, which Arner and friends organized.
