Listen & Digest w/That Guy Sbu  |  5 May 2021

That Guy Sbu and Nonos Ramalepe present an ode to Avant-Garde Jazz on the Listen and Digest Residency.
Avant-garde Jazz originated in the mid-to late 1950s among a group of improvisors who rejected the conventions of bebop and post bop in an effort to blur the division between the written and the spontaneous. It came to be applied to music differing from free jazz, emphasizing structure and organization by the use of composed melodies, shifting but nevertheless predetermined meters and tonalities, and distinctions between soloists and accompaniments.
