An Evening With David Sedaris

Ovens Auditorium

Pianist Craig Taborn and cellist Tomeka Reid come together for an evening of avant-garde improvisation in this Stave Sessions concert. Craig Taborn has built a varied career as a leader, a soloist, and a sideman in dozens of bands and has lent his brilliance as an improvisor in any number of musical contexts, from straight-ahead jazz to electro-acoustic sound collage. From units of melody and texture, Taborn builds intricate, fascinating compositions; or, as NPR's jazz critic Kevin Whitehead said, "making spontaneous pieces so clear and shapely, they can sound worked out in advance."
