June 10, 2012: #54 – Scott Thomson and Susanna Hood

  • Susanna Hood – voice and dance
  • Scott Thomson – trombone and composition
  • Jesse Stewart – percussion (2nd set)

Montreal-based artists, Susanna Hood (voice and dance) and Scott Thomson (trombone and composition), will perform a suite of Scott’s songs based on poems by P.K. Page.  Susanna is an award-winning choreographer and dance artist, as well as an accomplished improvising and interpretive vocalist.

Scott is known not only as a trombonist, but also as a composer of innovative site-specific, ‘cartographic’ works as well as more conventional song-based material.  Elsewhere, Susanna and Scott play together in The Rent (with Nick Fraser, Kyle Brenders, and Wes Neal), originally a Steve Lacy repertory project but now dedicated to playing Scott’s songs as well.  They also play together in Dave Clark’s Woodshed Orchestra.

For the second set, Susanna and Scott will play improvisations with outstanding Ottawa percussionist, instrument-builder, visual artist, and teacher, Jesse Stewart.
