Bassist, composer, & improvisor Lisa Mezzacappa and percussionist Jason Levis perform in a house concert in Berkeley. Their collaboration, "duo B.", will present their work "Incomplete, Open", a flexible suite of compositions inspired by the drawings of Sol LeWitt. Self-described as "a musical think-tank of grand schemes and impossible scenarios," the ensemble has spent nearly 20 years developing and refining its singular approach to improvisation and composition. Their work involves cross-disciplinary collaborations with film; partnerships with improvising instrumentalists both locally and internationally; and deep dives into the improvised-composed musical worlds of masters Wadada Leo Smith, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, and others.

Cost: $30
