AL NEIL PROJECT When it comes to the history of experimental music in Vancouver it all starts with Al Neil. At 81, the bop pianist-turned-collagist, performance artist, and sound sculptor no longer performs, but an assortment of his admirers will convene at the Roundhouse Community Centre tonight (November 10) to invoke his madcap spirit. Original Al Neil Trio drummer Gregg Simpson is the ringleader, and he'll be joined by improv veterans Paul Plimley on piano and Clyde Reed on bass, plus Vancouver New Music mastermind Giorgio Magnanensi on electronics. Words will be supplied by performance poet Kedrick James; visuals come courtesy of Neil's partner. Carole Itter. and video artist Krista Lomax.
