fist of kong – does stuff
In 2003, alto and tenor saxophonist Charlie Naked, bassist Danny McMahon, and drummer Vaughan Boone joined forces to become Fist of Kong, a free jazz trio playing spontaneously improvised music, free of preconceptions and premeditation.
Though Boone left after about a year and a half with the group, Naked and McMahon continued Fist of Kong alternately as a more experimental duo, and in a free-improv workshop format with several other members of Houston’s vibrant free improv scene, including trombonist Mike Switzer, guitarist Jim Otterson, keyboardist Robert Pearson, violist Rose Lange, percussionist Tom Zermeno, cellist Melisa Rose, tenor saxophonist John Atlas,and many others.
The members of Fist of Kong do not discuss the music before it’s played, making each rehearsal, recording session, and performance a unique moment of collective self-expression.
