The Brooklyn, NY based collaborative trio Ember (previously Curtis+Garabedian+Sperrazza) finds itself at the crossroads of musical and personal exploration resulting in true band-hood and non-hierarchical playing. Each of the members – Caleb Wheeler Curtis (stritch, trumpet), Noah Garabedian (bass), and Vinnie Sperrazza (drums) – are integral parts of the NY creative music community as leaders, collaborators and instigators. The music in this trio is organized but open and expressive. Their music opens up the true freedom of improvisation, exploration, and creativity.

“Chamber-like rapport”
Nate Chinen WBGO
“Draw[ing] on both the post-1970s Chicago and New York downtown scenes exploring the blues-based and alt. Rock as well as the free jazz aspects of the sounds coming from those highly significant jazz niches.”
Jazzwise
“Often the label experimental is used to denote a sound that defies convention or category. And maybe that word is too small to capture what is going on with No One Is Any One.”
