Titus Abbott Collective featuring NYC Percussionist Michael Sarin
Saturday - July, 13 @ 8:00pm
Since moving to New York in 1989, Michael’s unique style and approach to the drum set has been highly sought after by NYC and European musicians looking to expand the definitions of jazz and improvised music. He has contributed to recordings by the aforementioned artists as well as those of Frank Carlberg, Anthony Coleman, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich, Mark Helias, Denman Maroney, Simon Nabatov, Mario Pavone, Ned Rothenberg, and Fred Wesley--recordings found on numerous music critics’ Top Ten CD year-end lists.
Titus, a soprano saxophone specialist who also ventures forth on tenor sax and bass clarinet will combine various local collaborators to present a blend of originals and standards with Titus' idiosyncratic approach. In the jazz field he has performed as leader and sideman in various ensembles in Canada, Europe and the US including performances at international jazz festivals in Canada and the UK.
