    About This Event

    Peter Watrous brings a practice that moves between straight-ahead jazz and freer forms to Bar Bayeux, leading small-group sets that shift in tempo and density. His bandstand approach, built on close listening, quick decisions and a rotating circle of collaborators (Brent Lerman, Jules Gardener, Anthony Pearlman, Ben Young and Angus Mason), favors structure without polish and keeps the music responsive rather than fixed.
