Guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Asante Santi Debriano and drummer Will Calhoun open, with the Paramount Quartet, a new chapter in the work of Joe Lovano. Their music introduces Americana inflections at the heart of a modernist aesthetic, explored with freedom and intensity. Alternately dense and extroverted, then intimate and restrained, this program – driven by four musicians from overlapping generations – brings together originals, as well as ‘Lady Day’ (Shorter) and ‘First Song’ (Haden).
