Guitarist Brandon Ross, one of Sound It Out's favorite artists, returns to the series on February 22 at NYC’s Greenwich House as part of a new, free-spirited cooperative trio: Breath of Air, also featuring electric violinist Charlie Burnham and drummer Warren Benbow. Charlie and Warren will be making their debuts in the series, with Breath of Air playing two full sets, starting at 7:30pm. Brandon, Charlie and Warren have worked in recent years with the likes of Harriet Tubman, Henry Threadgill, Cassandra Wilson, Arto Lindsay, The String Trio of New York and James "Blood" Ulmer’s Odyssey Band. @brandonrossnyc @ghmusicschool #jazz #nyc #guitar #violin #drums #electricguitar #electricviolin #freejazz #sounditoutnyc #brandonross #charlieburnham #warrenbenbow #breathofair #greenwichhouse

This month, Jeff Davis – “a drummer and composer of sure footing but adventurous inclination,” according to the New York Times – releases “The Fastness,” his kaleidoscopic first album featuring his new quintet of the same name. It’s an all-star crew: Along with Jeff on drums and vibes, the band features Tony Malaby (tenor & soprano saxophones), Jonathan Goldberger (guitar), Russ Lossing (piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3 organ) and Eivind Opsvik (double-bass). The record, released by Barcelona’s Fresh Sound, spans Jeff’s influences from the Tony Williams Lifetime (“Go Away Glasses”) to Radiohead (“Wednesday Shirt”) to Morton Feldman (“Two Ones”)... . “Other bands I’ve led have had a more singular sound, but this quintet has a shape-shifting quality, constantly changing – from dark and mysterious to grooving and bright,” Jeff says. “You need a high level of trust to play music this freely, this openly, and the five of us have played together in various configurations for nearly 20 years – we know each other in a really deep way. The Fastness is a sort of improvising chamber group, one that can be atmospheric or really rock.” . Jeff and company will celebrate the release of the album by playing the Sound It Out series at NYC’s Greenwich House on Thursday February 6, 8pm... . . #jazz #nyc #sounditoutnyc #jeffdavis #tonymalaby #jonathangoldberger #eivindopsvik #russlossing #drums #electricjazz @jeffdavisdrums @eivindopsvik @jgoldberger @russlossing #greenwichhousemusicschool @ghmusicschool #freshsoundrecords

Mike Baggetta's "Spectre" album, with bass guitarist Jerome Harris and drummer Billy Mintz, is a magically enveloping beauty. Dig the SoundCloud links below...Saturday Feb 25, at 7:30pm, Baggetta, Harris & Mintz will return to the Sound It Out concert series at NYC’s Greenwich House Music School, heading a double-bill that also features Baggetta teaming in a duo with another of Sound It Out's favorite guitarists, Nick Millevoi. — “SPECTRE” https://soundcloud.com/mabnotes/02-spectre-i — “PASSAGES” https://soundcloud.com/mabnotes/passage-1 — “WAR ORPHANS” https://soundcloud.com/mabnotes/09-war-orphans #guitar #jazz #nyc #mikebaggetta #nickmillevoi #jeromeharris #billymintz #sounditoutnyc #greenwichhousemusicschool #electricguitar @mikebaggetta @nickmillevoi @ghmusicschool

Saturday January 25, 8pm! Sound It Out presents a double-bill with two of its favorite guitarists: Mike Baggetta and Nick Millevoi. Mike returns to the series and NYC's Greenwich House stage to lead his atmospheric trio featuring bass guitarist Jerome Harris, at the far right here, and drummer Billy Mintz, at left. Wilco guitar hero Nels Cline has called Mike “a guitar poet.” The New York Times said: “Mike Baggetta makes stealthy, mysterious music,” and the trio's "Spectre" album indeed brims with mysterious beauty. Doing double-duty, Mike will be opening up the night in a duo with Nick Millevoi, another six-string individualist who has rocked Greenwich House on numerous occasions. NPR has described Nick’s guitar in full flight as “like a rocket darting skyward between clouds.” #jazz #nyc #guitar #mikebaggetta #nickmillevoi #jeromeharris #billymintz @mikebaggetta @nickmillevoi #sounditoutnyc #greenwichhousemusicschool @ghmusicschool

Jeff Davis – “a drummer and composer of sure footing but adventurous inclination,” according to the New York Times – returns to the Sound It Out series and NYC’s Greenwich House stage on Thursday February 6, 8pm, to present his new electro-acoustic quintet The Fastness. Along with Jeff on drums and vibes, the band features Tony Malaby (tenor & soprano saxophones), Jonathan Goldberger (guitar), Russ Lossing (piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3 organ) and Eivind Opsvik (double-bass). These longtime kindred spirits will be celebrating the release of their first album together, “The Fastness” (Fresh Sound). It’s a record of kaleidoscopic dynamism, spanning Jeff’s influences from the Tony Williams Lifetime (“Go Away Glasses”) to Radiohead (“Wednesday Shirt”) to Morton Feldman (“Two Ones”). “Other bands I’ve led have had a more singular sound, but this quintet has a shape-shifting quality, constantly changing – from dark and mysterious to grooving and bright,” Jeff says. “You need a high level of trust to play music this freely, this openly, and the five of us have played together in various configurations for nearly 20 years – we know each other in a really deep way.

The one-of-a-kind trio of saxophonist Tony Malaby, drummer Tom Rainey & keyboardist Angelica Sanchez make their long-awaited return to NYC’s Greenwich House Music School at 8pm Friday January 10 — kicking off Sound It Out’s 2020, the eighth year of the series. Angie will bring along her funky, buzzing Wurlitzer electric keyboard to evoke the two unsung classics the band recorded live 15 years ago, "Alive in Brooklyn, Vols. 1 & 2.” Angie, Tony and Tom are each renowned masters of the music, whether leading their own bands or playing with the cream of the New York jazz scene. About their trio, Tom says: “It sounds simple to say, but the three of us have real creative chemistry together. Chemistry is the difference between just a group of good musicians playing in a room and something magical happening together. Tony and Angie are like musical family to me. I’ve been playing in various groups with Tony for more than 20 years now. There’s so much depth to what he does, and it gets deeper all the time. Angie's personality really comes out in her writing as well as her playing – this honesty and generosity of spirit lives in the music. For my part, I want to contribute to the collective, to keep it going and do what I can to always make the music special.” #jazz #nyc #sounditoutnyc #angelicasanchez #tonymalaby #tomrainey #wurlitzer #saxophone #drums
