Details
Lauded by Nashville Scene as the city's "Best Jazz Band that isn't a Jazz Band," Concurrence is a musical brotherhood based on trust, improvisation and celebration of Black Creative Music. Keyboardist Paul Horton (Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard Band) together with bassist Greg Bryant have forged their musical partnership on bandstands across the United States opening for Cory Henry and Rebirth Brass Band and touring independently on their own. They will return to Rudy's Jazz Room for one night, June 1st, with friend and drummer Aaron Smith (and special guests) to celebrate their new album, Indivisible, released on the Brooklyn-based label, La Reserve. The band's original material examines the comprehensive, groove and avant tradition of Black Creative Music. The new album examines the deleterious effects of interstate highway construction on communities of color.
"Concurrence has a firm grounding in experimental, edgy jazz, and improvisation is at the core of everything they do. But their recordings and performances (with mainstream jazz vocalists, spoken-word artists and rappers alike) show them drawing on multiple groove-oriented sources to focus on something they aptly call “black creative music.” Ron Wynn - Nashville Scene
