Brahja, High Alpine Hut Network

Mutating avant jazz quintet Brahja, led by NYC saxophonist Devin Brahja Waldman, comes to town with a fresh crop of songs. Toronto’s own electronic jazz meets free form psych rock melting pot collective, High Alpine Hut Network joins them for a night of sonic morphology.

Brahja’s ever evolving line up features Montreal & NYC heavy hitters, guitarist Sam Shalabi, percussionist Daniel Gélinas, pianist Damon Handoff, bassist Georgia Wartel Collins, and of course saxophonist & composer Devin Brahja Waldman. The rhythmically driven quintet draws from the wells of spiritual and soul jazz, balancing powerful sax mantras with atmospheric moods. High Alpine Hut Network sits in a genre defying realm where rhythm is also king, pushing their improvised maelstrom from ripping rock riffs to charred free jazz fusion inspired horn escalations. Both ensembles embrace the bubbling transformations at hand.
