Singletary Center for the Arts

Three titans of free jazz unite for the first time as part of the Singletary Center’s Expansive Sounds Series. Joe McPhee (sax/voice), Ken Vandermark (reeds), and Chris Corsano (drums/percussion) have collaborated many times throughout the years in various configurations, but this is their first foray as a trio. Though the music from this new trio will be completely improvised and spontaneous, it will be informed by their collective histories, a background which includes decades of work with a variety of musical aesthetics and artists that has taken place during hundreds of concerts and dozens of recordings, at home and abroad.

Shout out to Robert Beatty for this artwork for our 10th (!!!) installment of the Expansive Sounds Series.

Made a poster for this incredible tour coming through the Lexington/Louisville/Cincinnati triangle soon. The legendary Joe McPhee joined in a trio with Ken Vandermark and Chris Corsano, don’t miss it!

Summertime at the Singletary Center is fairly quiet, a time for reflection and planning. But when thinking about the hum of rehearsals in the hall, audiences stoked for the new season, and iconic displays of artistry on stage? Yeah, we’re yearning for the fall semester! 🍂🎶
