Four of the world’s top jazz improvisers combine forces for a performance of high-energy sounds at Ballroom Marfa. While reminiscent of John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the quartet’s sound is shaped by their ever-changing contemporary creative visions. Spanning the sonic spectrum from delicate to devastating, their shows appeal at once to primitive and futuristic sensibilities. Fire Into Music features:
Jemeel Moondoc (reeds)
Steve Swell (trombone)
William Parker (bass)
Hamid Drake (percussion)
