Alex Trask Quintet

The Undercurrent presents the Alex Trask Quintet!

Local saxophonist Alex Trask presents a set of original music for two horns and rhythm. Inspired by folk music from around the world and infused with jazz performance practice, these tunes have a simplicity in common. Free improvised sections contrast carefully arranged melodies, allowing creativity and structure to coexist. The fiddle-esque melodies and straightforward harmonies create an open and inviting sound that changes depending on the musicians on stage. Performing this music as a group invites each member to paint their private imaginings, creating a unique collective folklore.

This is the first of a two gig series where the band will be exploring some new compositions. On this gig the band will perform some previously unheard songs, come and catch the debut of this new set.
