Rova/Gianni Gebbia in Oakland

[David Gitin]

Tonight at the Black Box the group People In Motion (Gianni Gebbia, Damon Smith on bass, Garth Powell on drums)

Gino and I sat chatting and Rova began with Raskin's "Jukebox Detroit" followed by Gino's "Proclamation" (from his opera based on life of Emperor Norton "I, Norton"); another Raskin piece "Jukebox Choro," Larry Ochs' "S," and Steve Adams' "Survival" were played. Great show, quite rollicking.

Oh, Gianni Gebbia. So you must know pianist Matthew Goodheart. I heard that they will do something together in Europe this year, or has it been through already?

Anyway. I got one CD by Gianni, interesting. I like Matthew Goodheart. Anyone seen him perform before?
