Saxophonist David Murray almost casually flits back and forth between traditional accessibility and the freest of free jazz, while percussionist/vocalist Kahil El’Zabar explores every avenue that percussion can explore within music. The pair has played in each other’s bands for over 30 years and has the kind of chemistry about which players dream. Contrary to expectations, this duo’s interaction won’t only be sculpted chaos and controlled explosions, especially given each man’s deep love of soulful blues. This kind of jazz rarely makes it to our town, so this is a special event. Presented, naturally, by local treasure Epistrophy Arts.
