SAT 8 & 9:30 - Tony Malaby w/Ben Monder and Tom Rainey
About This Event
At Bar Bayeux tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby leads a trio with guitarist Ben Monder and drummer Tom Rainey. Malaby’s work sits between free improvisation and composition, with a focus on line and pacing rather than showmanship. Monder brings three decades of New York guitar work — including collaborations from Theo Bleckmann to David Bowie’s Blackstar — while Rainey emphasizes close listening, texture and momentum built from detail.
