CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - BostonChron -- "Third Thursdays" monthly jazz series host Dave Bryant (keyboardist) has invited saxophonist Neil Leonard, recently back in town from a residency in Tanzania, slide guitar innovator David Tronzo, bassist Max Ridley and drummer James Kamal Jones, to join him in September for what promises to be an exciting blend of percussive textures, electronic sonorities, and melodic invention.

Dave notes, "It's a real pleasure to welcome David Tronzo and Max Ridley to "Third Thursdays", joining series MVPs Neil Leonard and James Kamal Jones. Neil will be infusing us with a taste of his recent international adventures, and I'm looking forward to experiencing the unique language this group will develop."

Bryant's "Third Thursdays" (https://dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays/) schedule for Fall includes the following performances:
-- November 8: a special "Third Thursdays On The Road" performance in NYC at the ShapeShifter Lab of selections from Dave Bryant's new album Wire and Bone which was initially showcased during this past May's "Third Thursdays" concert. All of the Wire and Bone performers were in attendance, joining Bryant in an extremely energetic evening with Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass), George Garzone (tenor saxophone), Kenny Wessel (guitar), Eric Hofbauer (guitar), and Chris Bowman (drums). In November, they will all be sharing that energy with their NYC audience. The Wire and Bone album is available at davebryant.bandcamp.com.
"Third Thursdays" harmolodic jazz concerts are made possible by the generous support of the Appalachian Springs Foundation (https://dbryantmusic.com/asf-statement/).

Monthly performances have been video recorded, with the goal of documenting Ornette Coleman's impact on the free jazz movement. Another key purpose of the series is to document the experiences, reminiscences, and musical contributions of members of Coleman's bands. All videos, including interviews with Bryant's former Coleman colleagues, are available at dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays, dbryantmusic.com/musician-interviews, and on youtube.com/@davebryantmusic/videos (https://www.youtube.com/@davebryantmusic/videos).
