Jazz review: Mark Dresser Trio at REDCAT

From the Los Angeles Times:

When it comes to diving into the avant-garde, is it possible to have too much of a good thing? If any musician has earned the right to explore such a question it’s prolific bassist Mark Dresser. Currently based in New York City but a professor at UC San Diego and a favorite of the forward-thinking local label Cryptogramophone, Dresser’s collaborators have included Anthony Braxton, Joe Lovano and Osvaldo Golijov, and recently he has performed in ensembles with Myra Melford, Satoko Fujii and Rudresh Mahanthappa.
