The Jazz House Presents: Free Jazz Fridays

An Evening with: Bush of Ghosts

Phillip Greenlief - saxophones
Damon Smith - contrabass
Spirit - percussion

Getting their name from the surreal adventures found in Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola's ground-breaking novel "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts", this improvising trio of acclaimed musicians will
take listeners on a similar journey that veers from the quietest Zen meditations to sonic romps of expressive free jazz, and everywhere in between. The trio comes prepared to surprise even the most jaded of post-jazz audiences, while bringing fierce concentration and a fresh humor to the idiom that is often overlooked.

Cost: $6-10
