For over 34 years, the Upstream Music Association has been composing and improvising experimental music. We present festivals, convene diverse ensembles, offer workshops and produce on-line experiences in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Description
Miller, Donnelly and D'Amato reshape the familiar contours of the jazz songbook into a form all its own. The ensemble approaches classic standards as open canvases, stretching and bending melodies into ever-evolving organisms. Their interplay is fluid and conversational—sometimes tender, sometimes explosive—guided by deep listening and a shared commitment to discovery. Expect revered tunes to surface in surprising fragments, dissolve into free-form improvisation, and re-emerge transformed. The songs will be viewed through a prism of experimentation: adventurous, intimate, and alive in the moment.
