Acclaimed drummer Luther Gray brings his new trio featuring the incendiary horn duo of Jim Hobbs and Allan Chase for this show. The trio have just released an album on Skycap Music entitled "Horns and Drums, Drums and Horns" which showcases the near-telepathic interplay of this dynamic group. Individually, the members have performed with the likes of Anthony Braxton, Ken Vandermark, Joe Morris, Taylor Ho Bynum, Leroy Jenkins, Andrew Cyrille, Stanley Cowell, and many others.

Also on the bill are local favorites Equal Time who have been performing their own brand of spontaneous music throughout the area since 2006. The current lineup of Thom Keith, Forbes Graham, Jonathan Paul, Tim Webb, and Mike Walsh have been together since 2009. Individually and collectively they have performed with Eddie Gale, Dick Griffin, Michael Gregory Jackson, Curtis Clark, Steve Lantner, Fiveighthirteen, and Shango, among others.

Each group will play a set, and at the end of the evening all the musicians will play a final set of improvised music together. Anything can happen!

Don't miss this folks! These shows are meant to represent the best in live, creative music-- events that will literally be one time only. Be part of this "in-the-moment" experience. And please help us spread the word!

Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door.
