Asher-Krawczuk Duo

[Asher-Krawczuk Duo]

Eli Asher: “My goal as an improvising trumpet player is one native to many post-jazz musicians – to integrate the diverse means of musical expression I’ve found myself entangled in. This means, somehow, reconciling the lyricism of late 19th-c. and early 20th-c. Western music with the abstraction of chance-based and experimental electronic musics, the harmonic concerns of progressive jazz and concert musics with the heavy and structural inflection of the blues and Indian music, and the “deep groove” of free jazz with more mechanical or formal musics.
