Craig Taborn - Piano
Peter Evans - Trumpet
New music has clearly inspired Craig Taborn more than jazz. Even in minimalist passages, which could be more accessible with their repetitive character, he places the initial motifs at such an angle that listening becomes an exercise in concentration. Together with the exceptional trumpeter Peter Evans, this is a unique sound experience.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Craig Taborn has been performing piano and electronic music in the jazz, improvisational, and creative music scene for over twenty five years. He has experience composing for and performing in a wide variety of situations including jazz, new music, electronic, rock, noise and avant garde contexts.
Peter Evans is a composer, trumpet player, bandleader and educator based in New York City. For 20 years Evans has been pushing the boundaries of creative music in formats as divergent as solo trumpet improvisation, symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, noise/electronic music, and through-composed works. He's been the recipient of awards and commissions worldwide including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022.
