Free jazz pianist John Blum with an everywhere-at-once presence in duo with Jackson Krall, incendiary free jazz drummer and sound sculptor

Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
