They are:\n• Composers and performers Rachael Elliott (bassoonist) and Thomas Kozumplik (percussionist) – who have been touring across the country for the past year as “EK Duo.”\n• Elliott Levin (reeds\, flute\, poetry) – this Philly sax legend and Cecil Taylor veteran will create soundscapes in tandem with longtime collaborators Kozumplik and Tom Burnett (New York musician-performer-spoken word artist).\n• Brooklyn word-smith Range Enaself brings us stories through a Hip-Hop lense\, and visual artist Catherine Rutgers colors the set with her vibrant images.\n\nEK Duo\nRachael Elliott (bassoon) and Thomas Kozumplik (percussion) are longtime collaborators and founding members of the alt-classical quartet\, Clogs. They have performed on stages ranging from the Sydney Festival to BAM\, from Big Ears to the Knitting Factory\, from London Jazz Festival to Amoeba Music\, and points between. Their shared passion for chamber music\, improvisation\, groove\, and sound exploration led them to form EK Duo in 2022.\n\n\n\n\n\nElliott Levin\nElliott Levin (sax\, flute\, words) has developed a distinctive voice in improvised music\, highly alert and expressive. His creative work is influenced by pioneering pianist/composer Cecil Taylor\, who was an early mentor and then collaborator.

SUMMARY: Makrokosmos Orchestra - Dissolve Album Release
DESCRIPTION:RICHARD NELSON\nJoin us as the Makrokosmos Orchestra celebrates the release of their first album\, Dissolve (Adhyâropa Records). Called “modern jazz at its highest level” (All About Jazz)\, Makrokosmos co-leader Richard Nelson’s symphonic-length triptych takes a big picture\, broad-spectrum view of contemporary creative music\, maneuvering deftly between ambitious compositions and adventurous improvisation. Featuring some of New York’s finest players\, Makrokosmos will bring fresh and dynamic interpretations to all three of the suite’s evocatively titled movements—Dissolve\, Float\, and Cohere\, music in which improvisation and composition intertwine in highly imaginative and surprising ways. \nThe group will also spotlight Makrokosmos co-leader Tim O’Dell’s compositions with the premiere of of Ellis Quincy\, the constantly shifting colors of Kaleidoscope\, and the aspirational\, hard-swinging Selfless. \nFeaturing Erica Seguine (conductor)\, Michel Gentile (flutes)\, Alan Brady (clarinets)\, Tim O’Dell (alto & soprano saxes)\, Adam Kolker (tenor saxophone\, clarinet)\, Justin Mullins (French horn)\, John Carlson (trumpet)\, Jacob Varmus (trumpet\, cornet)\, David Chamberlain (euphonium)\, Dale Turk (bass trombone)\, Frank Carlberg (piano)\, Richard Nelson (guitar)\, Ken Filiano (bass)\, Rob Garcia (drums)\, Todd Isler (percussion). \n  \nAbout Richard Nelson and Dissolve: \n“Nelson’s followers can count on being surprised at how nimbly he can satisfy their appetites: he takes new directions while also satisfying their affection for thoughtfully conceived music that bridges jazz\, classical\, and other forms.”—Steve Feeney\, The Arts Fuse (Boston) \n“… the title track [is] a kaleidoscope of contrapuntal themes that weave in and out of the brass and woodwind sections\, shifting in and out of time and spatial sensibilities in a mysterious narrative\, its peaking followed by a scattering into the ether.” – Gary Fukushima\, DownBeat \n  \nAbout Tim O’Dell: \n“O’Dell designs hypnotic concepts that capture the imagination” – All About Jazz \n“… a perfect album (from O’Dell) . . . great blend of composition and improvisation and it swings! . . . a uniqueness of vision.” – Beyond Coltrane \n“This (O’Dell) is the sound of expanding American art.” – All About Jazz
