Noiseless Ensemble performs creative improvised music, on the border between jazz and the avant garde. Their compositions range from graphic and textual notation to card games and games of chance. Drummer Robin Ghertner and bassist Harry Walker lead a diverse lineup of DC mainstays on explorations into sonic spaces that can be oblique, melodic, empty, and dynamic. They will be performing with Brad Linde on sax, founder and director of the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra and regular collaborator of Lee Konitz.
