INFO + TICKETS

Soprano saxophonist Sam Newsome utilizes extended playing, improvisational, and compositional techniques in a manner that succeeds in staying accessible and enjoyable to listeners.  In other words, he's the jazz equivalent of much of the classical New Music that gets pushed hard on this List!  Don't get me wrong:  he's not inside/outside or avant-gutbucket:  this is contemporary music that does not evoke the past.  But he makes it new in a manner that draws the audience in.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm gonna send you to Oxomoco for the fun of it, even though I think it's wildly overrated.  Cuz it's still fun.
