About Citta di Vitti

During November and December 2006, I composed around 40 melodic fragments while watching the films L'Avventura, L'Eclisse, and Deserto Rosso, all films by Michelangelo Antonioni, featuring Monica Vitti. I had the sound turned off at the time and I imagined that I was writing my own soundtrack for the films.

In early 2007, I expanded those fragments into works for trio. I called Lisa Mezzacappa and Jason Levis, who work in the bass and drum manifesto "duo b" and we began to work on the music. They learned it faster than I did, which speaks highly of their ability to launch into my slippery material with so little prodding...

Since then the band has toured the west coast and Jason Levis has moved to Berlin. John Hanes has stepped in on drums and the band sounds great. We are proud to announce (along with other west coast shows) that we will be performing at Illuminated Corridor in San Francisco in December 2008. Keep your eyes and ears open and THANKS for dropping by.

On their self-titled Boxholder debut, clarinetist Michael Marcus and brassman Ted Daniel—two undersung veterans with a lengthy shared history—demonstrate a finely tuned duo concept; writing duties are shared, and the improvisations display the kind of rapport and structural logic that could arise only from years of collaboration." - Time Out NY
