Event info: newmusiccircle.org Saturday, October 24, 1:00pm - 2:00pm at: Dissonant Works 218 S Jefferson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63104 Biography: www.joe-morris.com Joe Morris is an uncompromising and visionary artist who has redefined the boundaries of modern guitar. His playing draws heavily on the free-thinking ethos of avant-garde horn players, and utilizes clean tones and abstract intervallic systems within his improvising. In 2026 Morris was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 30th year of NYC’s esteemed Vision Festival for his role as a key figure in the ongoing legacy of free jazz and improvised music. His playing draws heavily on the free-thinking ethos of avant-garde horn players like Eric Dolphy and Jimmy Lyons. This approach translates into lightning-fast single-note runs and unpredictable phrasing that feels more like a saxophone than a standard fretboard. As a cornerstone of the international improvised music scene, Morris approaches his instrument with both rigorous intellect and deep emotional conviction. He acts as a musical architect, engineering dynamic, non-linear frameworks that allow musicians to build spontaneous structures in the moment. This vast creative vision extends beyond the guitar, as he frequently performs on the upright bass, banjolele, and percussion. Beyond his prolific recording and performance career, Morris is a vital educator and author who has codified his extensive knowledge for the next generation. He serves on the faculty of the New England Conservatory and authored the seminal book, Perpetual Frontier: The Properties of Free Music. Through both his art and his pedagogy, Morris continues to map out the limitless possibilities of free improvisation. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/st-louis/artist-talk-and-workshop-free-joe-morris-at-dissonant-works-10-24/200030753288310 - **Event Categories**: music, art, entertainment, workshops, festivals, literary-art, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 9 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: St. Louis - **state**: MO - **country**: United States - **location**: Dissonant Works - **lat**: 38.60946 - **long**: -90.22167 - **full address**: Dissonant Works, 2218 S Jefferson Ave,St. Louis, Missouri, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Artist Talk & Workshop (Free): Joe Morris at Dissonant Works 10/24 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/c80bcf6c23dcf72cffe2aff29be15600c3b620df6a3f8330f2f6644b65ed6b60-rimg-w1200-h525-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1790731930 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Artist Talk & Workshop (Free): Joe Morris at Dissonant Works 10/24 being held? - **A:** Artist Talk & Workshop (Free): Joe Morris at Dissonant Works 10/24 takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Dissonant Works, 2218 S Jefferson Ave,St. Louis, Missouri, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Artist Talk & Workshop (Free): Joe Morris at Dissonant Works 10/24? - **A:** Artist Talk & Workshop (Free): Joe Morris at Dissonant Works 10/24 is organized by New Music Circle. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
