The Avant Jazz Workshop Series

The AJW has created its own performance series in order to provide a platform for new jazz in Santa Fe

Oct 24 - Counterparts 
7:30 pm / Entropy Gallery - Santa Fe / $20

A new project from keyboardist John Funkhouser and drummer Rich Malloy. From the artists: "Counterparts creates spontaneous musical narratives where every performance is unique—never rehearsed, never repeated. We listen, respond, and build stories in real-time. We search through the form of theme and variation—but theme can mean anything. A story overheard in conversation, a book that moved us, the weight of a feeling, the arc of a journey. We take these seeds and let them grow through musical dialogue, each voice responding to and transforming what the other offers. The drums might suggest a landscape while the keys paint the weather. Or the piano whispers a memory while percussion traces its emotional contours. Together, we discover where these themes want to go, following their natural evolution through improvised counterpoint."
