Two ensembles performing contrasting musics from AACM co-founder Muhal Richard Abrams. World-renowned pianist and composer Muhal Richard Abrams has been in the forefront of the contemporary music scene for half a century. A co-founder of The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), Abrams celebrates his 80th birthday this year.

This concert will feature Abrams splitting the evening into two ensembles operating in two separate sonic spaces: The first realized in a trio with the percussion of Adam Rudolph and electronics of Tom Hamilton and Abrams on synthesizer, and the other half with Abrams in a quartet with vocalist Jay Clayton, bass clarinetist Marty Ehrlich, and bassist Brad Jones.
