about

A suite of explosive variations, anti-minimalist depth charges with lyric intermezzo. Plus intimate electronic trilogy for voice and free jazz winds. Plus Spontaneous Combustion St. Louis Style.

The Free Jazz Posse plays uncompromising 100 percent free improvisation without gestures toward musical genres or formats. Playing together for nearly two decades the core trio of wind players--Melsha, Stone,and Zelenka--continue to create a tight and original exploration of instrumental possibilities. CONSPIRE opens new territory with singer Lika Shubitidze on several pieces. Her wordless vocals blend with electronic saxophone, synths and acoustic winds in intimate and passionate conversations. Aaron Smith and Ajay Khanna have traded those clarinets heard on the earlier Freedonia release, Fanfares for the Noh Age, for keyboard and laptop synths. Here they join guitarist Derek Leu in creating an open multitimbral sonic palette.

The Free Jazz Posse represents through its collective creative music a total commitment to freedom and choice and the requisite responsibilities, socially and artistically.
