Earl Howard has been performing his compositions in the United States and Europe for the past thirty-five years, expanding the boundaries of saxophone, live electronics, and synthesizer performance. Tonight he is joined by longtime collaborators Gerry Hemmingway (percussion) and Anthony Davis (piano) for the premiere of “Shattered Matters”, a new composition of structured improvisation exploring the de-positioning, reforming, and regrouping of events, and “Ditch” – a new piece for solo saxophone.
