Maria Grand Trio feat Joel Ross

Saxophonist, vocalist and composer María Grand presents a new repertoire written during a composing retreat in Guatemala. This music is mostly based on the relationship between subject, object, what it means to have two or more entities relating to each other, and the interaction between instruments/people/places. Sonically, it draws from many sources, such as post-romantic European music, the incredibly diverse sonic array of the black-throated jay of Guatemala, the exploration of sensual energy in musical landscape, and a decades long study of the Black American traditions of rhythm. This band, including longtime friends and musical collaborators Joel Ross on vibraphone and Jeremy Dutton on drums, promises to deliver highly energetic and precise improvisations.
