    About This Event

    A rotating bill at Pianos brings Shearing, Images Band, Still Beaming and Please together for a night of live decision-making and quick shifts in tone. Shearing works in free-form contexts and favors immediacy; Images Band builds sets from texture and restraint; Still Beaming leans toward direct songwriting and tight ensemble playing, and the bill emphasizes in-the-moment performance over studio polish.
