St. Paul's Davu Seru, Nathan Hanson, deVon R Gray work in the freely-improvised sphere of abstract jazz. Their music illuminates the connection we all have to each other, and it's crafted in real-time. They'll make their first appearance in St. Paul at the Hive on July 24.
Opening set from Waves (Dameun Strange and Leyna Marika Papach) Waves is an electro-acoustic band made up of artists Dameun Strange and Leyna Marika Papach creating ambient dreamscapes featuring strings, percussion, electronics and synthesizers.
Seru, Hanson, Gray's "We Sick" has been acclaimed around the world and appeared on several "Best of the year" lists including The Wire, Mojo, Star Tribune, The Quietus.
THE WIRE
“Ecstatic free jazz can tip over into ranting expressionism, but there’s no risk of that here. We Sick is a clear-eyed, rigorous dissection of a huge historic event, aspiring to and achieving high political art. Its unaffected anger is richly earned and musically compelling.”
RACKET MN
“…this advance track from the trio’s We Sick, recorded in 2020 and to be released this week, deserves nine minutes of your time. Hanson’s sax begins mournful and gains strength, Gray’s piano clusters expand as the song progresses, and Seru’s rhythms grown from experimentally tentative to prominent and forceful.”
MOJO
“As with the Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Matthew Shipp or Muhal Richard Abrams, it’s further proof abstract jazz can deliver a real emotional punch, finding beauty and connection amid the darkest of lows.”
