Join us for a night of solos and duos from four transcendent improvisers!
KEVIN MURRAY (drums, NYC) and WILL GREENE (guitar + sax, CHI) have collective resumes that include recordings and tours with John Zorn, William Parker, Joe Morris, Chris Pitsiokos. They play with bands as varied as Tredici Bacci (progressive italo-pop), Trigger (noise-metal) and Fake Pollacks (alt-rock). Murray and Greene are both members of legendary NYC outfit, PEAVEY. They are currently on a nationwide tour supporting every album ever recorded.
Majid Araim is an Iraqi-American multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, curator, visual artist, researcher and a fixture of the Atlanta improvisation and new music communities. Majid's prolific work as a composer focuses on resonance and dynamics, experimental approaches, and is oriented towards the natural world and reimaginings thereof. Passionate about reflection of experience, invested in exploration of perspective, and aware of the fruits born from those labors, Araim coalesces sound, gesture, and technology to engage in play, communication, and observation as a representation of the different degrees in which biological systems coexist in any given environment, creating space for the exploration of how we treat each other and the world in which we exist. In addition to their creative work as an artist, they are a dedicated parent, horticulturist, and animal lover.
Simone Baron is a polyglot pianist, accordionist, improviser and composer whose work “ego-less, genre agnostic and without expectations” (JazzTimes) engages curiously and charismatically with a broad spectrum of idioms. Educated at Oberlin and Tel Aviv University and joyfully de-educated at festivals and performances across Europe and the Americas, Simonehas won grants, fellowships, commissions and residencies from Chamber Music America, South Arts, the Hambidge Center, Sacatar Foundation, Strathmore, Marble House Project, Avaloch Farm, the Banff Centre, and Spectrum Toronto to name a few. In 2016 Simone founded Arco Belo, a diasporic chamber music ensemble that has toured nationally. Simone is a Victoria Artist and plays a Poeta XB Accordion, and is a founding member of the Boulanger Initiative.
