Chicago Tribune's "Artist of the Year" Kahil El'Zabar is a master of hand-held African percussive instruments and drums. Billy Bang's quicksilver bow bleeds sounds from elegant swing to the grittiest gut-scrapings. Hamiett Bluiett plays a flawless limbo game of how low can you go between bass and contra bass saxophnes. Together, their West African inspired improvised style is as lush and luminous as the trio is powerful and innovative.	Spruce Street Forum $20/$15

17	Wed 8PM	SONOR This year the faculty performance ensemble celebrates its twenty-fifth season. This third and final concert of the school year centers around the American premiere of a major new work by UCSD faculty composer Roger Reynolds, "The Angel of Death". This chamber concerto for piano and ensemble is part of a unique experiment in the perception of musical form in time. Two versions are to be performed, in each of which the same musical materials appear in alternative orderings; a subset of the audience register their recognition of formal features via electronic controls. In keeping with the question of the time-experience as a musical manifestation, the entire set of Morton Feldman's "Durations" will be performed, and rare film footage of the painter Sam Francis at work in his studio will be screened. A pre-concert lecture for study volunteers will be held at 7 pm in Mandeville Recital Hall.	Mandeville Auditorium UCSD $10/$8
