Baku Set To Perform At Timber Cove Resort May 6 The Group To Be Joined By Special Guest Musician Eric Tamm

     BAKU, the popular Mendonoman World-Fusion band, is set to perform at Timber Cove Resort Friday, May 6, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Joining BAKU for this performance is special musical guest, Eric Tamm on keyboard. Admission to this event is free.

     BAKU is an improvisational ensemble comprised of musicians dedicated to the art of spontaneous composition. The band will showcase its distinctive and captivating sounds that combine contemplative ambient structures and melodies with a strong yet relaxing rhythmic pulse. BAKU’s unique self-styled musical hybrid, dubbed "Jambient Soundscapes,” is a fusion of Jazz and Afro beat, while drawing upon European, Cuban, Latin, Middle Eastern, and other World Music influences and rhythms.

     The name BAKU honors the capital of Azerbaijan, marking the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, while paying homage to the region's diverse and rich cultural and musical history and influences. 

     For this unique BAKU performance, Harrison Goldberg, saxophones and percussion; David French, upright bass and percussion; and Nancy Feehan, cajon and percussion will be joined by Eric Tamm on keyboard.

     Keyboard player Eric Tamm (pictured) has lived in Timber Cove since 1997 and has guested with Baku previously. A long-time active participant in and critical observer of the improvised ambient music movement since the 1970s, Tamm is the author of Brian Eno: His Music and the Color of Sound (1995). After retiring from an active role in the internet industry five years ago, Tamm has been enjoying North Coast life, gigging with Highway 1 Revisited, an all-Dylan musical show.

     TCR's bar and dining room will be open during each event. Timber Cove Resort / Coast Kitchen is at 21780 Highway 1, about 20 miles south of the Gualala River. Info at 707 847-3231.
