'In4Mation' is a quartet focusing on improvisation and compositions that give freedom to explore groove and ensemble playing. The music grows from the original score/chart through the musicians personalization of the material and the converging of the quartets personal voices. The band consists of guitarists Jane Getter and Gene Pritsker, bassist Harvie S and drummer Gerry Brown.

Jane Getter - guitar (JGP, Brother Jack McDuff, Lenny White, Saturday Night Live Band)
Gene Pritsker - guitar (Sound Liberation, Joe Zawinul, Absolute Ensemble, The Matrix Resurrections)
Harvie S - bass (Mike Stern, Sheila Jordan, Michael Brecker, Kenny Barron)
Gerry Brown - drums (Stevie Wonder, Stanley Clarke, Diana Ross, Return to Forever)

This concert will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook page.
