Craig Taborn Quartet
JAZZ ENSEMBLE
Born in Minneapolis, 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.
For 20 years, Peter 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.
Originally from Sacramento, Ches Smith is a drummer, percussionist, and composer based in New York. He has collaborated with a host of artists on many scenes since the early 2000s. He has nine records to his name as a bandleader that feature his writing and ensemble curation, and is a devout student of Haitian Vodou drums, performing in religious and folkloric contexts in New York and Haiti for the last decade.
Thomas Morgan is one of the most in-demand jazz bassists, largely due to his unique approach to his instrument, his exceptional understanding of music and his own distinctive playing style. He has played bass on over 90 recordings and toured the world as a member of bands led by Craig Taborn, Bill Frisell, Jakob Bro, Jim Black, and Dan Weiss, among others.
