>>> It's a rare night, even by New York standards, to have two vibraphonists present two different ensembles at the same venue. Aside from mutual admiration, vibraphonists Moran and Beckham also share a similar tenure in the New York City music continuum yet this is the first time they have shared a marquee. Beckham appears here with Brad Shepik to perform new original material for the duo as they put finishing touches on a debut release. The two have been writing and performing material that explore the wide range of stylistic nuances and high-wire delicacy available in the guitar/vibes duo format. Shepik has been called "one of the most consistently creative and stimulating guitarist-composers on the scene today", while Beckham has been referred to as "someone who makes the vibraphone sound like one of the most grand of jazz instruments."

>>> For the second half of the evening, Matt Moran presents a final, farewell performance of his organ trio featuring Gary Versace (organ) and Tom Rainey (drums). "Matt Moran not only avoids all the sonic traps laid out by this instrument, but wisely and adventurously takes us further into the eloquent beauty that is the future of this too-often side-lined instrument. His soloing choices and chord voicings reveal a comprehensively hued and shaded palette, an open heart, a sense of humor and a well-developed technical skill." (freejazzblog.org)
