They met in New York City in the early 2000’s\, and first started playing together in cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum’s sextet. \n\n\n\nSince then they have become each other’s most frequent collaborators\, working together in a myriad of projects. Their duo project showcases a new book of music built on years of history and collaboration in a stripped down setting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChes Smith\n\n\n\nOriginally from Sacramento\, California\, Ches Smith is a drummer\, percussionist\, and composer based in New York.

His style is forward-driving but rarely blunt or aggressive\, and never random. He has a way of spreading out the center of a pulse while setting up a rigorous scaffolding of restraint…A conception of the drum set as a full-canvas instrument\, almost orchestral in its scope.”— New York Times \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.maryhalvorson.com/https://www.tomasfujiwara.com/

SUMMARY:Jeff Parker Trio + Hanging Hearts
DESCRIPTION:2220 Arts + Archives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors at 8:00pm8:30pm – Hanging HeartsChris Weller – tenor saxCole DeGenova – keyboards\, synth bassQuin Kirchner – drums\, percussion 9:30pm – Jeff Parker TrioJeff Parker – electric guitarKarl McComas-Reichl – bassChris Speed – tenor saxophone/clarinet \n\n\n\n\n\nJeff Parker is recognized as one of contemporary music’s most versatile and innovative electric guitarists and composers. With a prolific output characterized by musical ideas of angularity and logic\, he works in a wide variety of mediums—from pop\, rock\, and jazz to new music—using ideas informed by innovations and trends in both popular and experimental forms. \n\n\n\nRooted in Chicago’s rich tradition of forward-thinking jazz and experimental music\, Hanging Hearts is a progressive trio that thrives at the intersection of energy\, groove\, and improvisation. Melding jazz with rock intensity\, electronic textures\, and avant-garde sensibilities\, Hanging Hearts embodies the genre-blurring ethos that has long defined Chicago’s creative music scene. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeff Parker\n\n\n\nAn integral part of what has become known as The Modern Chicago Sound\, Jeff Parker is a longtime member of the influential indie band Tortoise\, and a founding member of Isotope 217˚ and Chicago Underground. His extensive work as a collaborator and session musician highlights his versatility\, with credits that include Andrew Bird\, Meshell Ndegeocello\, Joshua Redman\, Toumani Diabaté\, George Lewis\, Bennie Maupin\, Nicole Mitchell\, Peter Erskine\, Carmen Lundy\, Makaya McCraven\, Vijay Iyer\, Yo La Tengo\, Daniel Lanois\, Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band\, Jason Moran\, Joey DeFrancesco\, Nels Cline\, Charles Earland\, Ken Vandermark\, Dave Douglas\, Fred Anderson\, Tom Zé\, Clipping\, and many more. \n\n\n\nParker has released several acclaimed albums as a leader\, including Like-Coping (2003)\, The Relatives (2005)\, Bright Light in Winter (2012)\, The New Breed (2016)\, Slight Freedom (2016)\, and Suite for Max Brown (2020). The New Breed and Slight Freedom were named two of the Top 10 Jazz releases of 2016 by The New York Times\, and The New Breed was chosen as the Top Jazz Album of 2016 by The London Observer. His latest release\, Suite for Max Brown (2020)\, debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Jazz Chart and appeared on numerous year-end “Best Of” lists\, including WIRE Magazine\, MAGNET Magazine\, and The Guardian. \n\n\n\nIn 2017\, the renowned contemporary music ensemble Dal Niente premiered Parker’s composition Water on Glass at the Ear Taxi Festival. Expanding into production\, he has worked with Jeremy Cunningham (The Weather Up There) and Paul Bryan (Cri$el Gems). As a film composer\, Parker has scored several documentaries and contributed music to feature films and video games. \n\n\n\nParker has been a member of Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) since 1995. \n\n\n\nhttps://jeffparkersounds.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHanging Hearts\n\n\n\n“The Chicago-based band particularly shines in the space where the roads of avant-garde free improvisation\, rock attitude\, and the boundlessness of electronic experimentation intersect. Emerging from this crossroads\, the entirety of Where’s Your Head At features shifting textures that are unpredictable yet feel so natural. The band places its head in some fascinating spaces.”— Rob Shepherd\, PostGenre \n\n\n\n“It’s this kind of cross-pollination that makes Hanging Hearts so fun to listen to. The sheer joy of the musicians is almost palpable. Whether it is the soft-spoken For Those Who Need To Hear It\, the trippy Horizon or the upbeat Rise\, they always find a way to both challenge and support one another. None of them has the upper hand\, but there is one clear winner: the listener.”— Hans Werksman\, Here Comes The Flood \n\n\n\n“The vitality of punk rock fused with the carefree spirit of free jazz creates a raw musical energy\, yet the trio crafts a different finale with Coltranean sax etchings over cymbal-toms textures and spacious synth embellishments. The trio’s progressive approach yields fascinating results\, making Where’s Your Head At a memorable album and a standout in Hanging Hearts’ still small yet impressive discography.”— Filipe Freitas\, Jazz Trailhangingheartsmusic.com

SUMMARY:Elsa Nilsson's Pulses + Sasha Berliner

The Downbeat Critics Poll #1 Rising Star Vibraphonist and Jazz Journalists’ Association runner-up for Vibraphonist of the Year has notably shared the stage for recent projects with Christian McBride\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Marcus Gilmore\, Justin Brown\, and Cecile McLorin Salvant. She leads her own quintet for international touring. \n\n\n\nBerliner is also a faculty member at the University of California\, Irvine\, and a frequent lecturing guest at the California Institute for the Arts\, both for jazz ensemble and composition courses. She recently released her award-winning sophomore album “Onyx” (2022) through JMI Recordings. Glide Magazine described it as her “vigorous\, unabashedly avant-garde sophomore recording […] finding the budding\, San Francisco-born vibraphonist and composer in a fiery\, dense\, and genre-bending posture.” The magazine urges listeners to “add Berliner to the new vanguard of contemporary artists that are reshaping jazz with unconventional compositional approaches.” \n\n\n\nHer third studio album\, an electronic-acoustic hybrid project entitled “Fantome\,” is slated for release in the Spring of 2025.https://www.sashaberlinermusic.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElsa Nilsson’s Pulses\n\n\n\nAs the recipient of the 2022 CMA New Jazz Works grant\, Elsa Nilsson – Band Of Pulses explores the intersection between spoken language and jazz. “Pulses” uses the voice of Maya Angelou reading “On The Pulse Of Morning” as the foundation for compositions and improvisations\, highlighting the intrinsic musicality of her voice by supporting and amplifying the harmonic\, rhythmic\, and melodic content. In their deep dive\, they found clear echoes of Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane in her phrasing\, the blues implicitly and explicitly expressed in her pitches\, and an intense sense of groove in her rhythms. The ethos of this piece is to highlight that connection and bring the beauty of jazz as communication to the forefront. \n\n\n\nNilsson teaches Rhythmic Analysis and Socially Engaged Artistry at The New School\, in addition to her work as a bandleader and collaborator. Paul Rauch of All About Jazz has said about her: “She is the logical choice to provide a next step for her instrument in the world of jazz and improvised music.” \n\n\n\nLeibson is one of the most sought-after pianists in the New York contemporary jazz scene and has played multiple solo recitals at Carnegie Hall as part of the “Sophia Rossoff Presents” series. Recabarren has worked with artists such as Guillermo Klein\, Brad Shepik\, Melissa Aldana\, Camila Meza\, Claudia Acuña\, and many more. He and Elsa developed this piece together. Kenney is an equally creative and sought-after bass player\, and together this band weaves intricate invitations to view jazz in a fresh light. \n\n\n\nhttps:/elsanilssonmusic.com/

Whether it’s through a photograph\, a painting\, a reflection\, or even a memory; I’m curious about what it means to try and capture a moment\, and how that moment expresses itself as time marches forward. We often fall in love with the ‘spirit of the moment’\, particularly when it comes to improvisation and music. I think the positioning of an image with its silhouette side-by-side gives us insight into both the subject and the “image-taker”. And so\, my approach to Images and Silhouettes is introspective in that way. I want to explore different points of view from “moments” throughout my life- their spirit\, and share that with you.“ \nEnnis Harris\n\n\n\n\n“Ennis Harris is a forward thinking and unique composer and player. His compositions have a distinct personality and sound all their own. He is someone to watch for sure!” \nBob Mintzer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnnis Harris’ Eye In The SkyPerformed by the Thornton Jazz Orchestra \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMat Maneri\n\n\n\nMat Maneri\, a leading improvisational voice of his generation\, was born in Brooklyn in 1969. He began studying the violin at the age of five\, but since borrowing a viola for a jam session at the 1998 ECM festival in Badenweiler\, he has made the viola his instrument of choice. Important influences on Maneri’s work – in addition to all the major forces of jazz – include Baroque music (which he studied with Juilliard String Quartet co-founder Robert Koff)\, Elliott Carter\, and the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg\, Berg and Webern\, which was also of central importance to his father\, the late\, great saxophonist\, clarinettist\, composer and educator Joe Maneri. Of his studies with Koff\, Mat Maneri has said: “Studying Baroque music helped me to find my sound. [Koff] brought me into the world of contrapuntal playing and a way of using the bow that sounded more like a trumpet\, like Miles\, to my mind.”Photo by  Antonio Porcar Cano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnnis Harris\n\n\n\nEnnis Harris is a Los Angeles-based composer\, arranger\, saxophonist\, and flutist. His music seeks to blur genre and cultural boundaries through musical storytelling. \n\n\n\nAs a composer\, Ennis enjoys writing for various settings. In 2023\, he won the International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers (ISJAC)/USF “Prize For Emerging Black Composers” for his piece Eye In The Sky written for Big Band. In 2022\, his piece Portrait Poem\, written for Chamber Orchestra and Jazz Septet\, won the Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award. He has also been commissioned by theBABAorchestra\, who premiered his piece Ruggell in the fall of that year. \n\n\n\nAs a saxophonist and flutist\, Ennis has performed with artists such as The YellowJackets\, The Bill Holman Big Band\, Sammy Miller and The Congregation\, and Brian Charette. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.ennisharris.com/ \n\n\n\nPhoto by Lauren Desberg

A thundering piano statement erupts from woody bass rumblings\, and spare\, ghostly soprano saxophone notes drift through the mist\, generating the feeling of both inevitability and surprise” \nDownbeat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrump/Laubrock/Smythe\n\n\n\nIn this trio\, three ideal-typical partners come together who bring along thinking in compositional structures. Saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock is active as a composer in her countless projects\, always swinging playfully between composition and improvisation and moving light-footedly between harmonic and rhythmically bound jazz and free improvisation. The pianist Cory Smythe (decorated with a Grammy for the recording “In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores” 2015) originally comes from new serious music and\, is a lust-walking border crosser between new music and jazz improvisation. With Stephan Crump\, who\, in addition to his engagement in the Vijay Iyer Trio\, is also often on the road in chamber music formations\, the three of them provided a festival highlight with their filigree art of improvisation: enjoy these sonic subtleties\, most of which are drawn from tranquillity\, and expansive arcs of tension in which\, according to Crump\, “every note becomes a planet”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeong Lim Yang\n\n\n\nNative south korean\, bassist jeong lim yang performed extensively in new york city since 2011 as a sideman with great figures in the scene such as jason palmer\, oscar noriega\, and kenny wollesen. her debut album as a leader and composer titled déjà vu (fresh sound 2017)\, won npr’s ‘the best debut album of the year’. yang released the experimental brooklyn-based collective band “mute” (fresh sound 2020) and received an international proclamation. \n\n\n\nyang’s latest record “zodiac suite: reassured” (fresh sound 2022) is a rendition of mary lou williams’ zodiac suite (1945) and the zodiac trio held their release concert at national sawdust in brooklyn in october 2022. yang’s lyrical and melodic playing has been pursued and desired by many contemporary jazz and improvised musicians. \n\n\n\nhttp://www.jeonglimyang.com/

SUMMARY:ROVA + Battle Trance
DESCRIPTION:2220 Arts + Archives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy TicketsSubmitting form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:00pm – ROVABruce Ackley – soprano saxophoneSteve Adams – alto saxophoneLarry Ochs – tenor saxophoneJon Raskin – baritone saxophoneThe Rova Saxophone Quartet has consistently explored the fertile territory at the edges of composition and improvisation. Since their formation in 1978\, the group has been a generator of stimulating new compositions from its members and a workshop for collaboration with many visionary composers of the 20th and 21st century including Anthony Braxton\, Alvin Curran\, John Zorn\, Steve Lacy\, Terry Riley\, Henry Threadgill\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Fred Frith\, Nels Cline\, Henry Kaiser\, and Carla Kihlstedt\, among others. \n\n\n\n\n\n9:15pm – Battle TranceTravis Laplante – tenor saxophoneMathew Nelson – tenor saxophoneJeremy Viner – tenor saxophonePatrick Breiner – tenor saxophoneOn August 26\, 2022\, “the unusual quartet Battle Trance\, comprised of four wildly talented tenor saxophonists” (NPR)\, released Green of Winter\, the followup to 2016’s Blade of Love\, one of the “20 Best Avant Albums of the year” (Rolling Stone)\, a record featuring “three adventurously dense movements … that maintain a focused sense of restraint and melody throughout” (Pitchfork). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nROVA\n\n\n\nThink of the human voice in music. The most primal of instruments\, it can melt you or move you to tears on the spot. Then it’s the saxophone\, one-step removed from the human voice\, and the next most powerful messenger in music. Johnny Hodges\, Albert Ayler\, Steve Lacy\, Pharoah Sanders\, Oliver Lake\, King Curtis\, Tim Berne\, John Butcher – to name only a few of the many singular voices on the instrument who\, with one short phrase or even one sound\, can take your breath away\, or excite and inspire you to great heights. \n\n\n\nMultiply that power\, that capability\, times 4\, and you have a saxophone quartet. Rova Sax Quartet: a group that can move you the way an Eastern European choir of voices can move you\, but also a group with force\, a force that can feel as if it’s tearing the walls of the listening space down\, or that can simulate the complex sound of a machine\, or one of nature’s wild phenomena\, or conversely\, the almost-silent overlapping sound patterns heard with eyes closed in a field in the wilderness. \n\n\n\nRova Sax Quartet’s musical goal has always been\, since 1978\, to instigate\, to challenge\, and to inspire. The group explores the synthesis of composition and collective improvisation\, creating exciting\, genre-bending music. Rova:Arts\, formed in 1986\, acts as the umbrella organization for the musicians\, facilitating the goals and productions and tours\, the collaborations and special projects. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.rova.org/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBattle Trance\n\n\n\nBattle Trance is a genre-defying ensemble of four tenor saxophonists: Travis Laplante\, Patrick Breiner\, Matthew Nelson\, and Jeremy Viner. They perform the compositions of Travis Laplante. \n\n\n\nThe saxophonists in Battle Trance push their instruments to the limit. They utilize the full sonic palette of the saxophone\, shedding new light on it as an ensemble instrument. They circular breathe to build continuous and hypnotic waves of sound\, layer multiphonics to create intricate textures\, and use blistering fast lines that seem to liquefy into each other. Unorthodox articulations and unusual fingerings are also a part of the vast sonic vocabulary that the members of Battle Trance are demanded to master. This being said\, Battle Trance is also an ensemble that knows that a simple melody has the ability to shatter the heart. \n\n\n\nIn Battle Trance\, all of the players are asked to surrender their personal expectations\, agendas\, and desires in service of the Whole Sound. It is then that the individuals can enter into the true structure of the whole ensemble. Paradoxically\, it is the selfless structure that allows the capacity of the ensemble members to increase\, in service to a sound that is far greater than the sum of its parts. By surrendering their egos to the best of their abilities\, there is a heightening of the ensemble’s collective force\, control\, feeling of space\, sensitivity\, freedom of movement\, sonic spectrum\, breath\, and ability to penetrate the heart. Once the separation between the individual players of the ensemble disappears\, the ensemble itself is allowed to dissolve into the audience and the performance space\, which opens a portal of resonance. \n\n\n\nhttp://travislaplante.com/

Melody can be repeated and frozen and stuck in place. Markings of rhythm can become utterly abstract\, freed from cadence.” (New York Times). \n\n\n\nAmirtha Kidambi is invested in the creation and performance of Creative Music\, from free improvisation and avant-jazz\, to experimental bands\, Carnatic voice and new music. She is a composer\, vocalist\, scholar\, educator\, activist and organizer\, informed by anti-racism\, decolonization and anti-capitalism and is the co-organizer of Musicians Against Police Brutality and co-founder of South Asian Artists in Diaspora (SAAID). As a bandleader\, she is the creative force behind the protest infused  band Elder Ones and vocal group Lines of Light\, receiving critical praise from such publications as The New York Times\, Pitchfork\, Downbeat and Wire Magazine. Kidambi topped the categories of “Rising Star Vocalist”\, “Rising Star Composer” and “Rising Star Jazz Group” in the Downbeat Critics Poll for 2019 and “Female Vocalist” in El Intruso’s International Critics Poll. Kidambi is a key collaborator in Mary Halvorson’s latest sextet Code Girl\, Angels & Demons with Darius Jones\, duos with Luke Stewart\, Maria Grand and Matteo Liberatore\, several projects with William Parker.
