One of the most sought-after figures in contemporary music, Tyshawn Sorey has changed jazz as we know it. Combining complex scores with spontaneous improvisation, Sorey is creating a new identity on the border between classical music and jazz. At Chicago Humanities, this genre-defying composer takes the stage for a performance with his celebrated trio (Aaorn Diehl on piano, Matt Brewer on drums) featuring pieces from Sorey’s acclaimed album, Mesmerism, and The American Songbook including Duke Elington's REM Blues, Kosma's Autumn Leaves, and Detour Ahead.

Note that Harish Ragavan replaces Matt Brewer on bass , and makes debut performance with Sorey's trio format with this concert. Excellent playing by all.

Aaron Diehl on Piano : Matt Brewer on Bass : Tyshawn Sorey on Drums Brilliant stuff.
@fnhauser yesterday

does anybody else find the drums are hard to listen? Like the bass frequency kills the drums recording.
