William Parker will be presenting a large ensemble (~25 musicians strong; all that we know is that Cooper-Moore will also be among them!) at our favorite outdoor concert series; in our favorite large public park, on Friday, August 15 (gates open at 6pm).

We are beyond stoked about this! Do indeed bring the whole family for this profound late summer evening.

FREE admission (though you are always welcome to donate to BRIC, who have been producing this tremendous series for decades :-)

If In NYC, Don't Miss!

"A profound offering, created by four master improvisers, that challenges and elevates the very notion of what jazz, and art itself, can be .. This is, without a doubt, a masterwork. It is a towering summit of musical dialogue, shaped by four artists whose individual careers already read like seismic events in contemporary music."
-Thierry De Clemensat, Paris-Move
