with Theo Bleckmann, Ellery Eskelin, John Hollenbeck, Tony Malaby, Gary Versace

Vocalist Theo Bleckmann and percussionist John Hollenbeck have both spent considerable amounts of time in the ensemble led by visionary singer, composer and choreographer Meredith Monk, so if anyone can translate her postminimalist whimsy into the stuff of jazz improv, it’s these two. Completing the lineup of this estimable group are saxophonists Ellery Eskelin and Tony Malaby, and keyboardist Gary Versace.
