On Wednesday September 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. in the Martin Luther King Auditorium of the  
Main Library, the Soundwaves new music series presents Oakland saxophonist/composer Phillip  
Greenlief, joined by two rising LA jazz stars: pianist Cathlene Pineda and drummer Tina  
Raymond for a set of improvised music that explores melody, rhythm and wide ranging sound  
palette. Expect muscular phrasing, a wide dynamic range and microscopic detail in textures  
with a deep regard for listening. Come listen to the beautiful things that can happen when  
seasoned artists resist oppressive structures and create for you in the moment.  
A respected veteran of the Bay Area creative music scene, Greenlief has performed and  
recorded with artists including Fred Frith, Meredith Monk, Nels Cline, Joelle Leandre, They  
Might Be Giants, and members of the ROVA Saxophone Quartet.  
Pineda and Raymond appeared on Soundwaves in November 2017 as part of Eric Barber’s  
quartet and also frequently work with Vinny Golia, Kris Tiner, Lauren Baba, and other notable  
artists. Both have albums under their own names on Orenda Records and will be appearing at  
this year’s Angel City Jazz Festival.  
Soundwaves is a concert series presenting artists who appear on the DRAM (Database of  
Recorded American Music) streaming service. The Santa Monica Public Library is the first public  
library to offer this service to its cardholders. Listings of past and upcoming Soundwaves shows
