NOW IS THE TIMING – This ritualistic piece is about staying in the moment, maintaining your own, and intersecting with others to create an undercurrent of polyrhythms and sounds that will drive you and hypnotize you at the same time. The simple lyrical melodies over these motifs set the stage for the gradual intertwining that continues to unfold before your eyes. Other performers will be Mark Helias, bass; Graham Haynes, coronet and electronics; Aaron Lazansky, flute, electronics and DJ; and Chalfant on vocals and piano.
