Balance, the collaborative duo between pianist Michael Malis and saxophonist Marcus Elliot, transforms space and time with a durational performance of intuitive improvisational music at The Shepherd. The day-long continuous performance invites audience members to come and go at their leisure and to explore The Shepherd while experiencing new sonic worlds.

The Shepherd

The April 5th 2024 Alluvion Jazz Series offering will feature Detroit's own Balance. This incredibly special, talented, and creative duo is made up of Marcus Elliot on saxophones and pianist Michael Malis. You won't find another sound quite like Balance. They are considered among the most compelling Detroit jazz musicians of their generation. Equally prolific as solo musicians, and composers, when they combine forces as a duo, something truly beautiful happens.
