  Also featuring:

  Julian Berke’s “Ghost Runner” project

  Julian N. Berke, piano
  Nick Alvarez, drums

  Julian and Nick have played together in several jazz and improv bands over the past few years. “Ghost Runner” features them in a duo setting for abstract compositional structures in the form of texts, numbers,concepts, and loose instructions. The compositions are intended to study specific tonalities, dynamics and rhythmic interplay while imposing a minimum constraint on both the performers’ spontaneity and the listeners’ interpretation.

  Max Alexander
