+ Special guests artephis

Since forming in 2014, artephis have been committed to realizing forward-looking 'stretch music' which directs the progressive energy of post-bop Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis onto the contemporary plane of Christian Scott, Bill Laurance, Antonio Sanchez' Migration Band and Brian Blade & The Fellowship, distilling an eclectic sound of their own. Imaginatively exploring the textural possibilities of electronics-charged trumpet, a harmonically immersive pairing of guitar and piano, and a rhythm section that doesnt shy away from explosive grooves and light-footed nuance, artephis approach the spirited and sensitive as a mercurial improvising collective.
