Blending the raw energy of New York's loft jazz lineage with a transatlantic avant-garde sensibility, drummer Sam Ospovat leads a fiery ensemble through polyrhythmic intensity and expansive improvisation, where searing guitars, layered horns, and driving rhythms converge in a volatile and immersive session that channels historical influence into a bold, unfiltered contemporary expression.

Looking to create a sound realm that would reflect more life and less process, NY guitarist/banjo player Brandon Seabrook takes his 8-piece ensemble Epic Proportions on a truly epic journey through "lyrical melodies, dynamic improvisations and manic counterpoint", showing great evolution and development as a contemporary composer and player; "Brutal is beautiful".
