Knuckleball: A Jazz Brass (5tet) with Rhythm

 “Stephen Haynes, the leader, cornets, is fusing together inventive ideas, original decisions, passionate melodies, sparkling culminations and extended playing techniques. His nervous, hysteric and expressive cornet is brought together…” Avant Scena

With: Herb Robertson, cornet, Taylor Ho Bynum, cornets, Ben Staap, tuba, Eric Rosenthal, drums

The music is designed to blur the lines between composition and improvisation, between individual and ensemble, between genres, timbres, and instrumentations; celebrating  the beauty and necessity of the unknown and the indefinable, the enigmatic and the subversive.
