TONE Festival / Caroline Davis’ Alula, Madeleine Ertel

On June 25 at the Rex, Brooklyn-based Caroline Davis (saxophone) presents Alula with ensemble members Chris Tordini (electric bass) and Kate Gentile (drums), which according to Something Else! “might very well be her most ambitious project yet even as it’s also structurally her most spare.” The album version of Alula featured Matt Mitchell (synthesizers) and another Deerhoof member, Gregory Saunier (percussion). Madeleine Ertel (trumpet) will be joined by Steven Noronha (piano) and Jonathan Chapman (bass) to play a set of her original music for the first time as a trio.
