53 Stations

Founded by saxophonist and composer Jason Shapiro and percussionist and composer Skip Rohrich, 53 Stations focuses on original works as well as undiscovered gems by composers such as Steve Lacy, Herbie Nichols and Greg Osby, who are well known but rarely performed. Shapiro and Rohrich met in 1997 and immediately realized a shared passion for non-standard jazz and a shared commitment to forging a new sound. They cultivated a fertile musical relationship over the next several years, and finally formed 53 Stations in 2004. The group currently performs in Wilmington and Philadelphia and is working on their second album.
