Tim Berne and David Torn are celebrated as leaders in sonic non-conformity and their pushing beyond perceived Jazz boundaries. This evening concert is a rare opportunity to see the pair deliver a live duo performance.
The compositions of iconic saxophonist/bandleader Tim Berne have earned renown for their intensely kinetic, dizzyingly intricate quality as performed around the world by his various groups over the past four decades. Studio maestro David Torn is a longtime sonic co-conspirator with Berne and has produced several of his albums as well as guesting on 'Incidentals', the latest release by Berne’s four piece Snakeoil.
Tim Berne has been declared "a saxophonist and composer of granite conviction" by The New York Times. Acclaim for the first, eponymous ECM album from Berne’s quartet Snakeoil came from far and wide, with The Guardian calling it "an object lesson in balancing composition, improvisation and the tonal resources of an acoustic band." With the release of his second ECM album, Shadow Man, All About Jazz affirmed Snakeoil as "Berne’s most impressively cohesive group yet."
