This is music of great emotional contrasts, full of passion and longing.<BR><BR>We'll also present the fourth and final New Visions/New Vistas premiere by bandleader, composer and drummer Scott Amendola, who was named "MVP" of the 2009 Bay Area jazz scene by the<I> San Francisco Chronicle</I>. Amendola will play drums, percussion and electronics on his piece and will also be joined by Nels Cline, lead guitarist of the alternative rock band Wilco, and bass player Trevor Dunn.<BR><IMG
