Formed to participate in performances with Yoshiko
Chuma's School of Hard Knocks (SoHK), Chris
McIntyre's 7X7 Trombone Band is a 7-piece ensemble of New
York's leading and innovative voices on the instrument. 7X7 plays music
derived from material suggested by McIntyre but combined with in an
improvisational and collaborative approach.
The group joined forces with SoHK in 2005 at the River to River, Howl,
and Fall For Dance Festivals, and in 2006 during a resdiency at Bard
College, and for Sundown, a 7-hour site-specific performance at Issue
Project Room's silo complex on Carroll Street in Brooklyn. Sundown was
partially funded by American Music Center's Live Music For Dance grant.
McIntyre's works for 7X7 has also been presented in concert at Issue
Project Room (Carroll St), as part of the Second Helpings festival in
October 06, and at The Stone in June 07 during the Trombonophilia Festival
(which was curated by McIntyre).
Upcoming projects include the completion of a recording of the group's
work with Chuma, as well as the release of Fredric Rzewski's multiple
trombone work Last Judgment, all engineered by the brilliant James Fei.
