about

n the spirit of S.F. Bay Area artistic experimentation and exploration, THE LEFT COAST IMPROV GROUP (TLCIG) has crystalized from divergent musical and geographic backgrounds to form a unit of unprecedented talent. Its members are products of deep dedication, long study (both in and outside of academia), and many years of performance experience.
The emphasis of the group's approach is on relaxation, freedom, and listening, rather than individual virtuosity which, nevertheless, underlies the ensemble as an unfailing support for its cohesive expressiveness.
The Left Coast Improv Group an ever-changing configuration and brainchild of the Improv Wizard himself Jim Ryan presents their most stellar recording to date now available on Edgetone Records.
