Sparks Fly: 21st Century Street Jazz ft. Saxophonist Avram Fefer w/ Vijay Anderson & Dan Seamans

Avram Fefer’s explosive trio work has been well documented over the years with critically acclaimed albums and international tours. He draws from the musical worlds of Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Ethiopiques, and Charles Mingus. With tunes that create fertile ground for development and improvisation, Avram’s music encompasses soulful intelligence, lyricism, and groove.

Featuring:
Avram Fefer – saxophones, bass clarinet, composition
Vijay Anderson – drums
Dan Seamans – bass

Saxophonist Avram Fefer spent his formative years in the company of musicians like Roy Hargrove, John Medeski, and Jeff Parker. He made his professional debut with Archie Shepp, the Last Poets, Sonny Murray and Tony Allen, and has since played with David Murray, William Parker, Marc Ribot, and Vernon Reid among many others. Avram has performed in over twenty countries, released eleven albums as a leader, and has recently been presenting the Resonant Sculpture Project which features his solo musical interactions with the sculptures of Richard Serra. His latest album, Big Picture Holiday: Shimmer and Melt, is a six-piece electric groove project.
