SUMMARY:Rod Williams Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Pianist/Composer Rod Williams was born in Detroit April 15\, 1954 and studied with the great pianist Kenny Cox. In the summer 1981 he was playing with the Sam Sanders’ group “Visions” at the Detroit Jazz Center as an opening act for Air (Henry Threadgill\, Fred Hopkins and Steve McCall)\, Henry Threadgill strongly encouraged him to move to New York and in the fall of 1981\, he did so\, which is where he currently resides. \n“Pianist-composer Rod Williams’ typically stimulating original “Home Sweet Home” opens his fine 1989 LP “Hanging in the Balance” (Muse). It would certainly be an appropriate piece for the Detroit-born Williams to include when he returns to the Motor City. Williams made his reputation working with a range of left-of-center voices\, among them David Murray\, Henry Threadgill\, Dewey Redman and Lester Bowie. He has also proven to be an alert accompanist for vocalist Cassandra Wilson early in her career. But like most Detroiters\, Williams retains an essential versatility\, and there’s not much across the post-bop landscape you could throw at him that he can’t handle. His improvisations alternate between a scampering kind of percussive rumble with a smoother\, more pianistic touch\, and his compositions reveal a personal approach to melody and structure”( Mark Stryker\, Detroit Free Press June 17\, 2015). \nHe will perform with two generations of Detroit Jazz musicians- Kasan Belgrave\, Kayvon Gordon and Marion Hayden. He will also be celebrating his 64th birthday.

SUMMARY:Jon Taylor Trio
DESCRIPTION:Jon Taylor is a Detroit-based drummer\, improviser\, composer\, and educator. A tireless collaborator\, he co-leads a number of original projects around town. He has performed alongside such luminaries of creative music as Wadada Leo Smith\, Dave Liebman\, Karl Berger\, and Michael Formanek\, and is a founding member of Polyfold\, a musical arts collective. His compositions have been described as “A balance between form and freedom” and “music for the head and heart” (All About Jazz). His trio\, featuring master bassist Jaribu Shahid and pianist Michael Malis\, explores the stunning breadth of American music with original compositions influenced by everything from the tight-knit arrangements of Ahmad Jamal to the polyrhythmic trances of Steve Coleman to the spontaneous power of the Art Ensemble of Chicago.\nJon earned a BFA in Jazz and Contemplative Studies from the University of Michigan\, where he studied improvisation with Geri Allen and Ed Sarath\, composition with Andrew Bishop and Evan Chambers\, and performance with Sean Dobbins\, Ellen Rowe\, and Michael Gould.
