ShapeShifter+ Presents THE TWO OF US

THE TWO OF US
Rhiannon and Laurence Hobgood join hands and voice for a ridiculously beautiful evening of improvisation plus a few songs to make musical magic. They last played together in NYC some years back and have been waiting for the moment to begin again. Don't miss this moment.

RHIANNON: "A fabled underground figure in vocal jazz, Rhiannon turns improvisation into performance art...With a soft, supple voice and a range that climbs to the sky, she shows what heights jazz singing can reach when it combines disciplined musicianship, with utter fearlessness." James Gavin, Time Out New York
Rhiannon is a vocal artist with a vision of music as a vehicle for innovation, healing, transformation, and social change. A vibrant, gifted singer, performance artist, composer, and master teacher, Rhiannon has been bringing her unique and potent blend of jazz, world music, improvisation and storytelling to audiences for four decades.

LAURENCE HOBGOOD: "One of the most incredible pianists I have ever heard." Dave Brubeck
Contemporary virtuoso pianist, collaborator, composer, multiple Grammy nominee and 2010 Grammy winner Laurence Hobgood has enjoyed a dynamic career.
Perhaps best known as musical director for singer Kurt Elling from 1995-2013, Hobgood co-produced ten of Elling's CDs, each Grammy-nominated. Dedicated To You: Kurt Elling Sings The Music Of Coltrane and Hartman, recorded live at Lincoln Center, won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Vocal Jazz Record, with Hobgood receiving one of the coveted statues for his work as producer.
