Radical self-love, compassion, laughter, and the drive to amplify Black artmakers and noisemakers comprise the core of bassoonist and composer Joy Guidry’s work. Their performances have been hailed by The San Diego Tribune as “lyrical and haunting…hair-raising and unsettling.” A versatile improviser and a composer of experimental, daring new works that embody a deep love of storytelling, Joy’s own music channels their inner child, in honor of their ancestors and predecessors.

“On February’s Radical Acceptance, the interdisciplinary artist pulls together spoken-word pieces with quivering electronic soundscapes, freeform woodwind blasts, and rich rhythmic spirals. It’s an intense, vulnerable work that demands equally thoughtful attention and engagement.” –Allison Hussey, Pitchfork

“Whether this is still free jazz, already contemporary music or even sound performance does not matter. Radical Acceptance is one of the strongest statements that free music has made recently.” -Andrian Kreye, Suddeutsche Zeitung

Patricia Brennan -vibraphone & electronics
Kim Cass -bass
Marcus Gilmore -drums
Mauricio Herrera -percussion

Sets at 7.30pm + 9.30pm ET

Patricia Brennan’s More Touch is a quartet with a quite unusual instrumentation: mallet percussion plus effects, percussion, drums, and bass. Essentially, a small percussion ensemble with bass, carving a space where rhythm, color and texture flourish. More Touch is also the title of the debut release of this project. More Touch is Kim Cass on bass, Marcus Gilmore on drums, Mauricio Herrera on percussion and Patricia Brennan on mallet percussion and effects. The music from More Touch reflects a process of inner search, backwards to Brennan’s roots in Veracruz, Mexico and forwards into the future. A music of fluidity, flexibility, precision, and density. And above all, a music rich in imagined imagery

Dave Liebman -soprano sax
Adam Rudolph -percussion
Tyshawn Sorey -drums

With New Now, percussionist Adam Rudolph, soprano sax player Dave Liebman and drummer Tyshawn Sorey present powerful and innovative music recorded live at New York City’s iconic Jazz Gallery in the fall of 2021. Due out December 2, 2022 via Rudolph’s Meta Records, and Sorey’s Yeros7 record label, the CD marks the third in a series of trio recordings that Liebman and Rudolph have released.

The genesis of this threesome coming together seemed to be a quite natural one. Liebman and Rudolph began playing duo in 2016 and Sorey and Rudolph began performing as a percussion duet in 2018. Sorey states “we seemed so in sync with each other, in part, perhaps, because we are both composers as well as percussionists.”

When the opportunity arose to present a trio concept it seemed a natural step for these three artists of different generations to perform together. NEW NOW is the recorded document of that concert. Liebman, Sorey & Rudolph brought their unique and evolved rhythm and sonic languages to the fore, through inspired and spirited dialogue. The music flows as one complete piece with several movements or sections.

This music exists on its own terms reflecting the wonderful alchemy of these artists as they spontaneously created dialogues, orchestrations and sonic moods. According to Liebman, “For a “maiden voyage” meeting, the three of us were committed to open our ears and hearts. The results were magical.”

As Rudolph concurs, “You have to come to a creative situation like this with open ears, an open heart, and free-flowing imagination. The preparation is also years of practice, composing and performance so that we can be free to play anything we can imagine to play.”


From the liner notes by Adam Rudolph:
Even while receiving ancestral codes from the ancient aboriginal past and generating thought/feeling patterns which point to the multi-dimensional future unknown, this music resides completely in the present moment. The now is always new and sounds have their own reason for being. The music manifests the latency of the spiritual (wonderment) and takes on its meaning through the collective experience of all who played and witnessed it, as well as you, dear listener, who hear it now.
