Three sets: two duos, one sextet! Simone Baron, in from NYC, and Emily Rach Beisel, deep local Chicago, will present an improvised duo, after which The Bridge (France) offers sounds from two fresh ensembles!

Simone Baron is a polyglot pianist, accordionist, improviser and composer whose work is “ego-less, genre agnostic and without expectations” (JazzTimes) and engages curiously and charismatically with a broad spectrum of idioms.

Emily Rach Beisel is a Chicago-based improviser, composer, educator, curator and woodwind specialist. Beisel is known for visceral performances blending extended vocal and instrumental techniques with analogue electronics and rich bass clarinet tone.

The Bridge, duo:
Céline Rivoal (accordion)
Paul Giallorenzo (piano, keyboards)

The Bridge, sextet:
Nicolas Souchal (trumpet)
Adam Zanolini (bass, flute, sax, congas)
Ollin Yotl (sax, flutes percussion)
Théo Girard (double bass)
Naydja Bruton (drums)
Sylvain Lemêtre (drums, percussion)
