Phillip Golub/Alex Hitchcock/Andrew Lisle

Doors 7:45 PM, Music 8:30 PM - 2 sets of music Line-up: Phillip Golub - Piano Alex Hitchcock - Tenor saxophone Andrew Lisle - Drum kit About New York and London improvising scenes collide as Phillip Golub, Alex Hitchcock and Andrew Lisle explore new settings of their own music as well as Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton and Paul Motian. Phillip Golub, "a musician in fast ascent" (Wall Street Journal) and "a brilliant improviser" (JazzTimes), is a pianist, improviser, and composer based in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Los Angeles, he creates highly original and expressive music, grounded in but not constrained by his engaged practice in jazz, creative music, and new music. Technically audacious, Golub sublates distant sound worlds, negating conventions, yet building on traditions. Golub has been described by critics as "a polymath who elides any divide between improvised and composed music, or jazz and contemporary approaches [...] whose practice can't be contained by genre or discipline" (The Wire Magazine) and as an artist with "seemingly boundless creativity" (Downbeat). His recordings have been praised as “cutting edge” (Sequence 21), while containing “a profound concept […] triumphant […] fascinating” (Pop Matters).
