An intimate triple bill of music from Brooklyn and Berkeley - Brooklyn-based bassist Shayna Dulberger is a leading light in a new generation of free jazz improviser/composer/bandleaders. In addition to her ongoing solo project and prolific work as a bandleader, she performs with heavyweights like Bill Cole, Ras Moshe, and William Parker (yes, he calls her when he needs a bassist!). Guitarist Noah Phillips is one of the most compelling and distinctive solo improvisers on the Bay Area scene. Bassist Lisa Mezzacappa and guitarist Chris Welcome have been working together in cross-coastal trio contexts for several years, with Brooklyn drummer Mike Pride. Here they are joined by the inimitable Jordan Glenn for a set of original compositions.
