BROOKLYN JAZZ | A Tribute to Ornette Coleman by Andrew Downing

This BROOKLYN JAZZ concert will focus on Ornette Coleman—one of the boldest and most influential musicians in jazz history, whose ideas fundamentally changed perceptions of improvisation, melody, and ensemble freedom. He became one of the central figures of the free jazz movement, creating music in which structure, spontaneity, and collective dialogue exist in a delicate balance.

Ornette Coleman’s sound is vivid and unpredictable. In this concert, his music will be interpreted by Andrew Downing alongside an international ensemble of musicians, focusing on Coleman’s characteristic freedom and untamed musical thinking.

Concert lineup:

  • Andrew Downing – double bass

  • Ivars Artyunyan – drums

  • Toms Rudzinskis – alto saxophone

  • Madeleine Ertel – trumpet

Peripheral Vision and Ertel/Davidson/Fortin/Fraser/Hodgson

Peripheral Vision is excited to have Ertel/Davidson/Fortin/Fraser/Hodgson, an intergenerational quintet that enjoys playing lesser-known jazz standards in an interactive and playful way opening this month.

Peripheral Vision is one of the most exciting and innovative jazz quartets on the international jazz scene, performing together for 15 years. Based in Toronto, Canada, the creative leaders of the group are long-time musical collaborators, guitarist Don Scott and bassist Michael Herring. They have assembled a synergistic musical unit designed to push the boundaries of jazz while engaging the listener with a grooving, toe-tapping immediacy. Their distinctive musical voice bridges tradition and innovation, with deeply felt influences ranging from jazz, rock, classical, and improv, with a focus on dynamic group interaction.

Peripheral Vision is excited to have released their Canada Council for the Arts funded multi-media project, We’ve Got Nothing, featuring live videos filmed at the Tranzac, and an accompanying CD release.
