Slide 1 of 3

Four absolute musical innovators meet in this new group centered around drummer Ches Smith, who provided the challenging compositions. Guitarists Mary Halvorson and Liberty Ellman tumble around each other, with Nick Dunston laying the foundation on double bass and analog synth. The bandleader keeps his soundscape spinning with drums, vibraphone, and electronics. Sometimes it sounds cohesive, sometimes chaotic, but always with that chemistry born of years of friendship and mutual respect. A vibrant supergroup centered around this idiosyncratic drummer from New York at the Bimhuis.
