NYC Improvisor Shawn Baltazor and Adam Topol (of Jack Johnson fame) team up to present a duo set at Basic Flowers on December 17th, 8pm. Topol and Baltazor will be presenting a set of drum-duets, drawing from a vast common language they share ranging from the folkloric repertoire of Cuba and South America, as well as improvisations inspired by masters Ed Blackwell and Billy Higgins.
“Baltazor paints music that greets the ears on this protean production ... Everything from dream sequences with strings to loping swing with attitude to glazed-over tales of yearning manages to appear at one time or another on this most fascinating of albums”
– Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
Listen here to Baltazor's acclaimed release, Lionsong and Topol's Regardless Of The Dark
