    About This Event

    At ISSUE Project Room, bassist-composer James Ilgenfritz performs with Joe McPhee and AC Diamond. Ilgenfritz's composer–performer approach and attention to extended texture and precision meets McPhee's free‑jazz practice, documented from the late 1960s to the present, shaping music that moves between composed frameworks and open improvisation.
