Bio:
Forbes Graham has appeared on over 30 recordings, ranging in style from contemporary classical, metal, and jazz. His compositions are extremely mathematical, highly contrapuntal, vivacious, and invigorating, drawing from the cross-cultural experiences he has lived. His solo trumpet performances explore micro-climates created from deconstructing the trumpet and the utilization of extended techniques. He has performed or recorded with a diverse group of musicians, including Roger Turner, Kayo Dot, The Flying Luttenbachers, Rakalam Moses, Daughters, Jim Hobbs, Erase Errata, Thoughtstreams, and Raqib Hassan. He is currently a member of the Interdimensional Science Research Orchestra and the Full Metal Revolutionary Jazz Ensemble. He can also be found sitting in with the Fully Celebrated Orchestra from time to time. Festival appearances include High Zero, Full Force (curated by John Zorn), and The Wire's Adventures in Modern Music festival.

2nd Monday, 3/12

Last night's concert began with duo improvisations from Wes Matthews on piano and me. Alex Asher and Brian Landrus brought out a new quartet with Kai Ando on bass and Thor Thorvaldsson on drums, and premiered a full set of new compositions. Tommey performed a solo improvisation on piano and amplifiers. The evening concluded with a sublime Icelandic lullaby sung by Helgi Jonsson, a friend of Thor's visiting from Iceland.

Stay tuned for a number of exiting events coming up in April.
