The Jazz Gallery Presents: John Escreet's Sound, Space and Structures

This Saturday, May 11, The Jazz Gallery welcomes pianist John Escreet back to our stage. Escreet is a composer & improviser of eclectic tastes, as comfortable building psychedelic textures will electronic instruments as he is creating collaborative, acoustic music in real time. Escreet's most recent album, Learn To Live (Blue Room Music), embraces an electrified sound world with a top-notch band including saxophonist Greg Osby, trumpeter Nicholas Payton, bassist Matt Brewer, and a double drum team of Eric Harland and Justin Brown.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIRxwbbf5NM&list=OLAK5uy_k5N9ZCDpLCIQ2mLPg0Q4YsNBu7y3tWvxgFor his performance at the Gallery however, Escreet leans into the open and mysterious with a trio featuring the influential British saxophonist Evan Parker and do-anything percussionist Ches Smith.
