Tim Hagans: Subversive Jazz in Houston
Tim Hagans, Subversive Jazz DiverseWorks Theater Houston, Texas August 10, 2008 What would you expect when going to hear trumpeter Tim Hagans heading up a jazz show called Subversive Jazz, at DiverseWorks Theater in Houston Texas? Perhaps a free-flowing trumpet intro, followed by gongs and trap set? Sure. But when saxophonist Seth Paynter entered playing a Korean Tae Pyong So (or Nal Ra Ri, a copper-made trumpet attached to a wooden tube), while shooting off a cap gun, I began to take notice. Having lived in Korea myself, I recognized that sound (sans gun), but didn’t expect to hear it in a jazz band. Nor did I expect to hear drummer Richard Cholakian ripping a drill saw into a plastic cup for the sound effect. And when bassist Thomas Helton made his introduction playing bowed bass notes very long... and very low, followed by the pulling of his strings until they almost came off of his bass, I knew we were in for a ride down into the nether regions of creative music...
