An Ill Fitting Garment CD Release Tour

New England Visionary Artists Museum Experimental Performance Arena, 518 Pleasant Street, Northampton MA (518 Pleasant St, Ground Floor, Northampton MA 01060)

Music

Touring up from Brooklyn, these four artists bring new music to this intimate venue.

Featuring Josh Berman - cornet, Ishmael Ali - cello, Bill Harris - drumset, Eli Wallace - piano, objects

After convening for a recording session at Marmalade Studios in Chicago, IL, in 2021, the improvising quartet of Josh Berman, Eli Wallace, Ishmael Ali, and Bill Harris continue to hone their collective sonic identity through regular live concerts in Chicago. Now on tour with their first cassette release, An Ill-Fitting Garment, the group focuses on acoustic interplay. The group strives to create a unified heuristic sound that simultaneously features each individual while constantly generating a sense of rhythmic propulsion, at times subtle, at times bombastic.

This performance has a second set featuring Eliot Cardinaux - piano, voice, poetry, Sean Riddle - double bass, Anders Griffen - drums, percussion, cymbals
