DennyDennyBreakfast is the name of the music project of Bob Woods-LaDue. No 2 dennydennybreakfast shows are the same, with different members, and new arrangements. In this iteration of DDB, Bob and his friends celebrate the recent improv recording "unlit overpass" that was recorded in Dec 2017 and released in Jan 2018. They will navigate through scores that offer different ways to approach free improvisation. Sometimes trying to recapture some of the magic from the album, as well as exploring new territories and expanding their vocabulary.


Max Johnson is a bassist, composer and bandleader based in New York City. Known for his big sound, eclectic style and prolific output, Johnson has made a name in both the jazz and improvised music world, playing with legendary luminaries Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Muhal Richard Abrams, among others, in addition to becoming a first call bluegrass bassist, playing with legends Sam Bush, David Grisman, & the Traveling McCourys, as well as being a composer of chamber music that's been performed by Mivos Quartet, and members of Bang on a Can, janus Trio and Ensemble Signal. With 9 albums, and over fifteen hundred concerts under his belt, Johnson has proven to be an unparalleled force on the bass, and a unique, exhilarating voice as a composer.

Since his emergence on the west coast in the late 1970s, Evander Music founder and saxophonist Phillip Greenlief has achieved international critical acclaim for his recordings and performances with musicians and composers in the post-jazz continuum as well as new music innovators and virtuosic improvisers.
