Ben Perowsky Double Bill at ShapeShifter Lab

Ben Perowsky presents: Reunions pt. 1

First part of a series curated to revisit and reunite groups who have had major impact over the last 20 years in the NYC music world, and who coincidentally have had the same drummer. A good excuse to catch up with old friends, dust off relationships and sheet music, with a forward bending ear.

TRONZO TRIO

Tronzo is some kind of mad scientist, having spliced together two completely disparate idioms slide guitar and bebop jazz. On a bad night, he sounds like Duane Allman grafted onto Charlie Parker. On a good night, he’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before.
