On Wednesday, May 9th at 8:00 pm, the Dmitri Matheny Group featuring Dave Ellis returns to Yoshi's at Jack London Square, Oakland, for the world premiere of Dmitri Matheny's Crime Scenes, a new work inspired by espionage and underworld movie music. Drawing on classic themes from film noir, B-movies, spy thrillers and crime dramas, Crime Scenes is presented in an evocative series of dreamlike flashbacks, conceptually linked together as a story with voiceover narration in the hard-boiled detective style of Raymond Chandler. Dmitri Matheny, flugelhorn; Dave Ellis, saxophone; Matt Clark, piano; Seward McCain, bass; Akira Tana, drums. Don't miss it! [download flyer]
