As to this material, the musicians construct mutations of normal jazz standards, transformed from their more familiar forms in the time domain. Their original compositions can be “jazz-like,” but with twists and turns resulting from asymmetric harmonic rhythms, cycling rhythmic and pitch patterns, etc.

Three of the Bay Area’s foremost improvised music perpetrators — reeds, guitar and voice — bring you an evening of wonderfully pleasing perplexing music.

This performance is supported by the Guaranteed Fair Wage program
of Jazz in the Neighborhood, a 501(c)3 nonprofit
dedicated to promoting the economic viability of gigging
for the Bay Area’s professional musicians.
