THURS 8 & 9:30 Ben Monder w/Adam Kolker, Jeremy Stratton, Kayvon Gordon
About This Event
Guitarist Ben Monder leads a small-group date at Bar Bayeux with saxophonist Adam Kolker, Jeremy Stratton and Kayvon Gordon. Monder’s long New York practice—including work with Theo Bleckmann and a contribution to David Bowie’s Blackstar—meets Kolker’s compositional saxophone, Stratton’s inward, responsive ensemble playing and Gordon’s lean toward free‑jazz, textural improvisation.
