Lena Bloch & Feathery at Ibeam Brooklyn

About

Feathery presents original compositions, written by Bloch and Lossing. Emphasis is put on musical communication, spontaneous compositional decisions, where each member of the group is a soloist and an accompanist at the same time. The music itself draws on a wealth of inspirations – there are aspects of 20th and 21st-century classical music, Eastern European and Middle Eastern traditions, and of course modern jazz and improvised music. All of these have been absorbed and emerge organically from the group’s interactions with one another, with an intriguing freedom that calls to mind the work of the Tristano School or Paul Motian.
