Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble in collaboration with FOTOFEST presents Tim Hagans Subversive Jazz, on Sunday January 23, 2011 at 7 p.m. FOTOFEST, 1113 Vine Street, Houston, TX.

Grammy-Nominated trumpeter and composer Tim Hagans performs with his wild quartet featuring Seth Paynter, saxophone; Thomas Helton, acoustic bass; Richard Cholakian, drums. The performance is presented in conjuction with FOTOFEST's exhibition A Matter of Wit curated by Wendy Watriss, FotoFest Artistic Director and Senior Curator, opening January 13 at FOTOFEST Galleries.

TIM HAGANS SUBVERSIVE JAZZ will perform "Ornette's Waking Dream of A Woman" and "The Moon is Waiting," two compositions excerpted from GET OUTSIDE, an evening-length work written by Hagans for the Norrbotten Big Band to perform with the Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble in Sweden. The two selections have been re-orchestrated for quartet.

Tim Hagans was just nominated for a 2011 Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for "Box of Cannoli" on the CD: THE AVATAR SESSIONS. Sunday's night program will include some selections from that CD as well.

All four musicians are also core members of the Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble and will be premiering a new work for dance, music and live camera in March 2011 at the FOTOFEST Vine Street Galleries.
