SUMMARY:Marilyn Crispell/Harvey Sorgen Duo
DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Crispell (piano)\, Harvey Sorgen (drums) \nMarilyn Crispell is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music where she studied classical piano and composition\, and has been a resident of Woodstock\, New York since 1977 when she came to study and teach at the Creative Music Studio. She discovered jazz through the music of John Coltrane\, Cecil Taylor and other contemporary jazz players and composers. For ten years she was a member of the Anthony Braxton Quartet and the Reggie Workman Ensemble and has been a member of the Barry Guy New Orchestra and guest with his London Jazz Composers Orchestra\, as well as a member of the Henry Grimes Trio\, Tiszigi Munoz Ensemble\, and Quartet Noir (with Urs Leimgruber\, Fritz Hauser and Joelle Leandre). \nCurrently she is touring and recording with two different trios: Joe Lovano’s Trio Tapestry (with Carmen Castaldi) and the Dreamstruck Trio with Harvey Sorgen and Joe Fonda. She also plays with Scottish saxophonist Raymond MacDonald and the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. She has collaborated with Angelica Sanchez\, Tanya Kalmanovitch\, Tyshawn Sorey\, David Rothenberg and others. Besides working as a soloist and leader of her own groups (including trios with Gary Peaccok or Mark Helias and Paul Motian)\, Crispell has performed and recorded extensively with well-known players on the American and international jazz scene. She’s also performed and recorded music by contemporary composers Robert Cogan\, Pozzi Escot\, John Cage\, Pauline Oliveros\, Manfred Niehaus and Anthony Davis (including four performances of his opera “X” with the New York City Opera in 1986). She is a 2025 NEA Jazz Master. \nWoodstock-based drummer/composer Harvey Sorgen has lived a hundred lifetimes in one. Sorgen has drummed with such greats as Ahmad Jamal\, Bill Frisell\, Paul Simon\, Derek Trucks\, and his longtime gig Hot Tuna\, and he’s also worked as an engineer and clinician. Upcoming records with Katie Bull\, MaMuGe 3\, the Fonda/Stevens Group\, Black Dog Trio\, and his own Sorgen/Rust/ Windbiel Trio attest to his versatility and seriously swinging\, slightly abstract style. Sorgen says listening beyond the drums is the key to being a player other musicians want to work with. “Listen to the rhythm of everybody else in the band\,” he advises. “It’s really about the way the other musicians are playing. Their rhythms and dynamics will help dictate your rhythms and dynamics and make it feel natural.” \nTheir new release\, Forest\, has been released on Fundacja Shuchaj.

SUMMARY:John Hollenbeck’s GEORGE
DESCRIPTION:Anna Webber (tenor saxophone/flute)\, Sarah Rossy (voice/keyboards)\, Chiquita Magic (keyboards/voice)\, John Hollenbeck (drums/composition) \nFrom the Greek name Georgios\, which was derived from the Greek word georgos meaning “farmer\, earthworker”\, itself derived from the elements γῆ (ge) meaning “earth” and ergon meaning “work”. \nGeorge Washington Carver\, George Gervin\, George Clooney\, George Floyd\, George Wein\, Georgia (the state and the country)\, Georgia O’Keefe\, Saint George\, George Saunders\, George Michael\, George Carlin\, George Clinton\, George Frideric Handel\, George Orwell\, Boy George\, Curious George\, George the magazine\, etc… \nJohn Hollenbeck formed GEORGE during the Covid pandemic. He brought together three great musicians/people whom he loved and admired for a long time! Even though most of the members had never met each other\, John was confident from knowing them himself\, that this group would immediately be\, as one of the members calls it\, “tight” (which means “very cool” in case you were wondering.) Their group sound is firmly planted outside any categories or labels\, so good luck with that! They remotely recorded a literal “Proof of Concept” in March 2021 and finally met in person in January 2022 in Montreal\, Canada where they recorded Letters to George\, which was released on vinyl/cd/digitally on Out Of Your Head Records on January 27\, 2023. On August 27th\, 2023\, GEORGE released “short”\, 4 re-composed remixes based on improvisations from their 1st recording session. \nAnna Webber is a flutist\, saxophonist\, and composer whose interests and work live in the aesthetic overlap between avant-garde jazz and new classical music. She was recently named a 2021 Berlin Prize Fellow and was voted the top “Rising Star” flutist in the 2020 Downbeat Critic’s Poll. \nSarah Rossy is a vocalist\, keyboardist\, composer and producer based in Montreal\, Canada. Sarah’s practice combines live electronic processing with jazz\, folk\, and Arabic music to create autobiographical\, ethereal\, and socially-outspoken soundscapes. Recent themes in Sarah’s work include ancestral continua\, intergenerational linkage\, and community healing. A debut audiovisual album\, a tender autobiographical soundscape imagined through a kaleidoscopic electronic jazz lens entitled ‘OF WHO WE HAVE BECOME’\, is set for release in 2024. \nIsis Paola Giraldo AKA Chiquita Magic is a latinx artist/producer hailing from Colombia and based in Canada. She uses microtonal synthesizers\, her voice\, and a drum machine to create a unique sound that can be described as futuristic electro pop with elements of EDM\, hip hop\, cumbia\, funk\, reggaeton\, choirs & jazz. \nGenre-crossing composer/percussionist John Hollenbeck\, renowned in both the jazz and new-music worlds\, has gained widespread recognition as the driving force behind the unclassifiable Claudia Quintet and the ambitious John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble\, groups with roots in jazz\, world music\, and contemporary composition. He has earned six GRAMMY nominations and has worked with many of the world’s leading musicians in jazz including Bob Brookmeyer\, Fred Hersch\, Tony Malaby\, and is well known in new-music circles for his long-time collaboration with Meredith Monk.
