American producer, composer and percussionist Kip Hanrahan brings together extraordinary casts of avant-garde jazz musicians like Chico Freeman, Billy Bang, David Murray, and the late Don Pullen with virtuoso latin percussionists and some eclectic rock and funk players. The resulting albums on his label, American Clavé, are dense, tense and atmospheric, with angular fragments of stories half sung, half mumbled. Tonight we'll sample some of Hanrahan's compelling, provocative, rich and beautiful music.
