Peter Broetzmann, Hamid Drake, William Parker begin performing together in 1995. In 2003 The All Music Guide called the band "one of the leading ventures in the history of avant-garde jazz." After a ten year hiatus the band is back on the road;May 10 at the Chapel is its first ever Bay Area concert.
