FRACTALE
French experimental electro jazz, featuring two saxes, trumpet, electronics, tuba, and drums-
“Fractale is a new tendance electro-jazz group… offers us to explore sounds never heard before. The instruments are used in an unexpected way where we recognise a strong rock and jazz influence : the baritone saxophone and the tuba are saturated and electrified, then tuned on a computer basis rhythm. Numerous improvisations are added to the verse/chorus structure. Finally, saturated riffs create nerves and spices to simple catchy melodies”
Sounds great to me!

LOST CIVILIZATIONS
Mike Sebastian (tenor sax+saxello, of DCIC), Ted Zook, percussionist Larry Gomez, and special guest Emre Kartari on the drumkit! This should be a very cool and unique performance from these great improvisors and staunch supporters of the improv scene here in DC!

VECTOR TRIO
A Washington DC based project designed to explore freedom and possibility in three voices, contextualized by cultural disharmony. The limitations of a trio are quickly dissolved by their use of looping devices which create infinite possibilities. Their latest direction, which began last summer, mixes industrial noise, extended improvisatory techniques, fractured funk, and film score techniques with a no-holds-barred approach to improvisation.
