NEW FREQUENCIES at McCOLL CENTER: JAZZ / Battle Trance
Monday, September 12, 2016, 8-10 PM

Battle Trance is a genre-defying saxophone quartet comprised of Travis Laplante, Matthew Nelson, Jeremy Viner, and Patrick Breiner. Their debut recording Palace of Wind received critical raves and their follow-up Blade of Love is due this fall. The quartet crosses boundaries between avant-garde jazz, classical music, black metal, ambient, and world music. Pop Matters called their music "an achievement not just for the saxophone, but for avant-garde composition as a whole."
