Ember: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Ember

Ember is a New York City–based jazz and free improvisation group heard in small-room settings like Bar Bayeux. Recent bills place the ensemble alongside improviser and bandleader Caleb Wheeler Curtis, with bassist Noah Garabedian and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza. The music is built in the moment, with Curtis steering group movement, Garabedian anchoring the low end, and Sperrazza turning time and texture quickly. Their sets favor collective decision-making over fixed arrangements.
