About
Brooklyn-based saxophonist Kyle Nasser leads this composition workshop, along with the members of his quintet featuring; Jeff Miles, guitar; Dov Manski, piano; Nick Jost, bass and Allan Mednard, drums. The group will demonstrate a variety of new composition strategies using Nasserรs own work as an example, as featured on his recent album, Persistent Fancy (Ropeadope)."Cycling rhythms and recurrent melodic themes propel the saxophonistรs 13 original compositions and one cover through an ever-evolving terrain of advanced harmony and raw emotionรPersistent Fancy is cerebral without being pretentious, gnarly but far from vulgar." ร Ed Enright, DownBeat Magazine
