For more than three decades, these artists have cultivated a shared musical language through collaboration and improvisation. Each performance is collectively composed in the moment, offering a remarkable opportunity to share a small room with musicians whose decades of collaboration have left a lasting mark on creative improvised music.

"The theory behind this music is the music itself. Empty and fill the heart and soul with sound, letting it dance. Without pretense. We are trying to get to a flow—Earth, sky, and flowing water sounds that jump out of the painting." — William Parker
