Pre-concert Conversation, 2 pm
“Meet the Composer,” with Tim Berne

Concert, 3 pm

With an intrepid three-decade career that has firmly established him as one of the Top 10 Essential New York Jazz Icons (TimeOut New York), alto saxophonist/composer Tim Berne is “one of the most cogent, clear-eyed figures to come out of the American jazz vanguard” (The Buffalo News). Berne has recently garnered universal acclaim with his new ensemble Snakeoil and their eponymous first album for ECM Records, produced by the legendary Manfred Eicher. This fascinating contemporary chamber-like group highlights Berne’s highly original composing style to stunning effect, revealing the passionate chemistry he shares with Oscar Noriega (clarinet), Matt Mitchell (piano), and Ches Smith (drums, vibes, percussion) as they create essential twenty-first-century jazz that is “rich, absorbing, multi-hued, and continually surprising” (London Jazz News).
