THURS 8 & 9:30 Jeff Williams w/Chet Doxas, Adam Kolker, Jeremy Stratton
About This Event
Jeff Williams leads a set at Bar Bayeux with saxophonist and clarinetist Chet Doxas, saxophonist and composer Adam Kolker, and responsive ensemble player Jeremy Stratton. Doxas's preference for clean lines and compositional structure, Kolker's background as a saxophonist-composer, and Stratton's inclination toward quick shifts in texture point to music that balances written frameworks with freer, attentive group improvisation.
