Chris Ryan Williams Vibration Trio
Chris Ryan Williams is an artist and musician based in Brooklyn, NY whose work unfolds through electroacoustic composition and performance installation. His EP Live earned praise from Jazz Right Now and The Quietus for its “dazzling collaged pieces that ricochet between improvised passages and written material”. His debut LP Odu: Vibration II, praised by Pitchfork and named one of NPR’s Best New Albums, reimagines a journey through Plato’s Cave.
Billy Hart Quartet
NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart commands the whole spectrum of musical possibility: His drumming is still as fresh as tomorrow. Early on, Hart performed in D.C. with soul artists such as Otis Redding and Sam and Dave, and then later with Buck Hill and Shirley Horn. Hart has recorded with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, McCoy Tyner, and most other modern jazz legends.The Billy Hart Quartet includes Mark Turner on saxophone, Ethan Iverson on piano, and Ben Street on bass.
BlankFor.ms with Jason Moran and Marcus Gilmore
BlankFor.ms is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates richly textured music with degraded tapes, analog circuitry, and spinet piano. He composes for film and video games, with contributions including Academy Award Best Picture-nominated film Nickel Boys. In this collaboration, he is joined by MacArthur Fellow pianist, composer, and educator Jason Moran and innovative drummer Marcus Gilmore–two of the most highly-regarded jazz performers of our time.
