Oakland Freedom Jazz Society Presents Bristle + Bad Luck
Bristle’s unique sound is a fortunate accident: when saxophonists/clarinetists
Cory Wright and Randy McKean asked bassist
Lisa Mezzacappa to join them in 2009 to perform their original compositions, they were looking for a drummer to round out the quartet. A set of Spinal Tap-ish circumstances led them instead to draft violinist/oboist Murray Campbell, and this one-of-a-kind strings-and-reeds ensemble was born.
