With the success of last year's standing-room-only show at the Fine 
Line Cafe, Minnesota Contemporary Ensemble (MCE), will again present 
an eclectic evening of music including noire, lounge, contemporary, 
and experimental. We will perform works by L A  bassist Joey Altruda, 
a leader in the "new cool school" movement in Los Angeles, who's 
music is featured in the movie "Swingers".

We will also give the world premiere of a new work by Robert Drasnin, 
the former head of CBS television's music division for 20 years and 
last year's featured artist by MCE.  Other highlights of the evening 
include Leonard Bernstein's classic and rarely performed "Prelude, 
Fugue, and Riffs", The soundtrack to Orson Well's "Touch of Evil", 
XTC's "Man who Sailed Around His Soul" featuring Vic Volare, and two 
works by Yma Sumac with Janet Gottschall -Fried, performer with the 
Minnesota Opera and the Theatre de la Jeune Lune.

This year's show features an outstanding line-up of soloists 
including internationally regarded percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson, a 
frequent performer with Germany's "Ensemble Modern", giving the world 
premiere of Erik Griswold's Every Night the Same Dream. We will also 
have as guest artists the Vienna Sax Quartet performing their 
arrangement of Steve Reich's New York Counterpoint which was 
re-written in collaboration with the composer.  The MCE band will 
also include Doug Little from the Motion Poets on solo tenor sax and 
flute.

In between sets,  audience members will be treated to Minneapolis' 
own "lounge/exotica" expert, King Kini, spinning vinyl from his truly 
unique and unmatched collection of vintage recordings.
