New Rich Halley Release and Tour

From Rich Halley:

Saxophonist/composer Rich Halley releases Creating Structure
New CD on Pine Eagle Records features trombonist Michael Vlatkovich, bassist Clyde Reed and drummer Carson Halley.

Creating Structure is the first recording by the Rich Halley 4 devoted entirely to free group improvisation. This disc showcases the group’s original approach to improvising which combines freedom, feeling and traditional elements into a seamless whole. Creating Structure presents sixteen musical statements that express both genuine emotion and an inner structural unity.

To celebrate the CD, the band tours to four cities and towns:
May 18: Quinn’s, Beacon, NY
May 19: Konceptions Series at Korzo, Brooklyn, NY
May 20: AS220, Providence, RI
May 22: Outpost 186, Cambridge, MA

Rich Halley has released seventeen critically acclaimed recordings. Creating Structure follows the Rich Halley 4’s earlier The Wisdom of Rocks, Crossing the Passes, Back from Beyond and Requiem for a Pit Viper, all of which received wide critical acclaim.
