Rich Townsend The Magnificent Nightrain
About This Event
Saxophonist Rich Townsend leads The Magnificent Nightrain at Arthur's Tavern. Townsend's work moves between straight-ahead jazz and free improvisation, and the group favors risk and quick responsiveness over polish, unfolding material through shifting tempos, open harmonies and collective decisions in a room that prizes close listening and unadorned ensemble playing.
