Anna Webber's Shimmer Wince + Play Time

Clifford Allen's series blazes on! This one is volume 32! Shimmer Wince is quintet led by saxophonist, flutist, and composer Anna Webber. Featuring Adam O’Farrill on trumpet, Mariel Roberts Musa on cello, Elias Stemeseder on synthesizer, and Lesley Mok on drums, the music for this ensemble explores the applications of Just Intonation in a jazz/improvised context, including its intersections with rhythm and groove. Just Intonation, or JI, is an ancient tuning system based on the natural harmonics and resonances of notes and, for Webber, represents a continuation of her research into timbre and sound. Play Time (Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein) great trio. Debut record out now
