The Stick Against Stone (SAS) Orchestra will be performing songs not heard in almost 30 years from the rediscovered songbook of Stick Against Stone, as part of a free outdoor concert on Saturday, July 9th at 2pm at the Herbert Von King Park Recreation Center (670 Lafayette Avenue) in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. To be filmed for the cross-media documentary-in-progress “Get It All Out” (http://www.getitalloutmovie.com) – the SAS Orchestra is a 12+ member all-star ensemble of New York City musicians.
Lead by music director David Terhune, the SAS Orchestra is made up of veteran NYC-area musicians - including members of Loser's Lounge (founder/keyboardist Joe McGinty and David have been mainstays at Joe's Pub and other performance spaces for 15+ years), in addition to David Miles – guitarist from the Bronx-raised post-punk/hip-hop notables ESG, drummer Denny McDermott (Donald Fagen, Marc Cohn), bassist Jesse Krakow (director of the recent New Yorker magazine “Critics Pick” benefit/tribute to the late Captain Beefheart), percussionist Yusuke Yamamoto (Dizzy Ventilators, Sabina Sciubba), and saxophonist Paula Henderson (Burnt Sugar, Melvin Van Peebles). A new album by the SAS Orchestra is planned for release in the fall of 2011.
