Starry Plough Presents:

9 pm David Boyce - Phillip Greenlief saxophone duo

Calling upon a variety of post-jazz sources for exploring free improvisation, this classic two-tenor saxophone duo (sans rhythm section) delivers a free-wheeling, melodic romp that juggles soulful noise and lyrical grooves. Come out and catch this new duo formed by two of the SF Bay Area’s most respected post-jazz tenor saxophonists.
