Improvisational Reunion In SF
Saxophonist David Boyce (Broun Fellinis), bassist David Ewell (Vivendo de Pao) , and drummer Sameer Gupta (Marc Cary, NAMASKAR) start from scratch for each performance, channeling their inspiration into freely improvised musical moments. The Supplicants have been sculpting their unique sound for over 10 years, starting in 1999 in San Francisco. Their concerts at The Red Poppy have been consistently unforgettable musical experiences. Sameer Gupta flies in from NYC for this special rare event.

“The Supplicants has left me radiant, fulfilled in the way only the most profound spiritual encounters can. Composed of some of the Bay Area’s most accomplished jazz musicians…the band soars with the fiery grace of A Love Supreme-era Coltrane.” – Jonathan Zwickel, SF Bay Guardian
“The level of emotion with which they play is so deep, so personal, and the energy so pure that it is almost as if existence, or being itself, creeps most surprisingly yet receptively into our souls.” —Drew Foxman, All About Jazz
