Frank Pahl

Improvising on the scrap heap

by James M. Manheim

posted 10/1/2005

Avant-garde sometimes equates with in-your-face, but the avant-garde music of Frank Pahl manifests an innocent enthusiasm for pure sound. When I heard Pahl perform with a backup band of three at Kerrytown Concert House a couple of years ago, I came away calm and a bit wide eyed. His music was lyrical, rhapsodic — in a word, beautiful.
