About the music of Leah Jane
At The Stone at The New School, Astra Collective interprets the music of Leah Jane in a set that sits between Rock/Pop forms and experimental jazz language. Leah Jane appears on bass clarinet alongside Billy Popfinger (double bass), Jessica Ringston (flute), Devin Oswald (viola), and Sofia Nangle (violin). The writing treats the ensemble as a chamber group, using breath, bow, and pulse as equal materials. In a city where genre boundaries often function as social boundaries, the work matters for how calmly it refuses them.
