One of the world’s most prominent trombonists, composers and improvisers, George E. Lewis has been releasing records since the late 1970s, gracing Chicago and the broader American jazz and experimental scenes with his combination of brass and electronics. He’s collaborated with legends such as Anthony Braxton and Muhal Richard Abrams, and continually renewed his style in the process, working with labels such as John Zorn’s Tzadik. He is the author of A Power Stronger Than Itself – The AACM and American Experimental Music. In this talk, he’s joined by turntablist and composer Mariam Rezaei, whose musical output draws on noise, sampling and glitch. Rezaei’s work plays club culture off of the experimental underground. As a composer and curator, her work extends to TOPH, a mixed-use arts space she runs for DIY artists in Newcastle
