New Frequencies Fest
DOUBLE BILL: SATOKO FUJII DUO / RUDY ROYSTON'S 303
Jazz in the present tense.
Satoko Fujii (piano) and Kappa Maki (trumpet) have been performing their own compositions and improvisations together for more than 25 years. Nowake seamlessly combines composed sections with improvisation to erase the boundaries between them.
Rudy Royston describes his music as “paying tribute to the upbringing, musical influences, sights, sounds, and people of Denver, CO (area code 303).” 303 band members include drummer Rudy Royston, guitarist Nir Felder, pianist Sam Harris, saxophonist Jon Irabagon, trumpeter Nadje Noordhuis, and the two-bass tandem of Mimi Jones and Yasushi Nakamura.
Tickets to this performance give you access to Matana Roberts at 10 PM in the YBCA Forum on a space available basis.
