In a career that spans the last two decades, trombonist, guitarist and composer Curtis Hasselbring has appeared on more than 50 recordings, playing everything from Eastern European brass band music to country rock to electronica to jazz and improvised music. His Curha-chestra, one of three active Hasselbring-led ensembles, is an ever-changing outlet for his alter-ego, Curha, an electronic music creator who thrives on deconstructions and reconstructions of everyday noise. The group will feature Shane Endsley (trumpet), Andrew D'Angelo (bass clarinet and alto saxophone), Todd Sickafoose (bass) and Ches Smith (drums).
Best known for his work as a drummer with Dave Burrell, William Parker and David S. Ware among others, Guillermo E. Brown is a multi-faceted musician and multidisciplinary performer whose work spans dance, theater and a wide range of musical genres. This version of his Cut Up Quintet, a group AllAboutJazz.com's John Sharpe called “a smorgasbord of styles encompassing jazz, funk, noise and rap, mixed into a cohesive whole," will preview music from its forthcoming release. The band will feature Cochemea Gastelum (reeds and electronics), Will Johnson (samples), Keith Witty (bass) and a special guest.
