Ornetteology plays two sets, starting at 8 pm

Steve Adams - alto saxophone; Myles Boisen - guitar; John Finkbeiner - guitar; Phillip Greenlief - tenor saxophone; John Hanes - drums; Darren Johnston - trumpet; Lisa Mezzacappa - bass

Ornettology is the brainchild of guitarist Myles Boisen, presenting unique arrangements of compositions by Ornette Coleman and realized by a crack squad of players that can romp and ramble in the myriad of directions posed by Mr Coleman's music. Expect tight realizations of the iconoclast's work, free ranging jazz landscapes, funky grooves, and harmolodic improvisation.
