The NYTimes has called drummer Sam Ospovat’s music “…prismatic, oddly seductive…inspired by the 12-tone modern classical composers, the snarled energies of math rock and the rough-riding vigor of jazz improvising.”
His transatlantic ensemble Expressive Olympics returns to Berlin supporting a new album – Blight Music – out October 31st on Eclipse Music.
This Donau115 performance will feature some of the fiercest voices on the NYC and Berlin scenes, inlcuding bassist Tim Dahl, pianist Rieko Okuda, and saxophonists Jeremy Viner and Michaël Attias.
The new release – Blight Music – is uncompromisingly visceral jazz, recorded in a burned out waterfront warehouse in Brooklyn’s Bush Terminal where New York’s monumental past, combustible now, and polyrhythmic future collide in the reverberations from the concrete pillars and six meter ceilings.
