"“Cole can be coolly lyrical, he can write a controlled “classical” counterpoint, he can drop in some funk, and he can also let the improvisers loose in the stratosphere.” - Popmatters.com
Josh Cole hosts this intimate night of experimentation exploring relationships between musicians, between sounds, between improvisation and composition. "
