Billy Martin + Matt Glassmeyer + Jonathan Goldberger
Billy Martin, a founding member of Medeski, Martin and Wood, has played with John Lurie's Lounge Lizards, John Zorn's Cobra ensembles and countless other uncompromising groups. He has relentlessly pursued diverse musical contexts, from free improvisation to chamber compositions to film scores. Along with creating new instruments, Martin is also an accomplished filmmaker and visual artist.
Matt Glassmeyer makes innovative sounds with a variety of adventurous players in Nashville and New York. Groups include Rastreo with Oliver Wood, duo with Jano Rix of the Wood Brothers, Hompulon with Brooklyn creatives Tim Keiper, Brian Drye, Dana Lyn, Tom Spiker and Jonathan Goldberger. His album "Live Band" features Nashville virtuosos Ethan Jodziewicz, Mark Raudabaugh and JP Ruggieri. Matt is the inventor of the reedless tenor saxophone, new percussion concepts, and has a singular approach to the electric piano.
Jonathan Goldberger's unique guitar playing is featured with Red Baraat, John Zorn, Jim Black, Joe Russo's Selcouth Quartet and many other progressive groups. His own recordings include the acoustic collective Surface to Air and Visitors (with JP Schlegelmilch and Jim Black), one of Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Jazz Albums of 2018.
These three instrumentalists have come together multiple times in the woods north of New York City to improvise into the microphones. The result spans an emotional and dynamic gamut.
