Hut Five
Canadian violist Tanya Kalmanovitch operates at the intersection of contemporary jazz, classical music and free improvisation. A formidable classical performer, she is fast building an international reputation as an innovator on the viola, bringing its rich, warm tone into the realms of contemporary jazz.
On "Hut Five" Kalmanovitch is joined by three of jazz's foremost creative musicians: Boston guitarist Rick Peckham, Dublin bassist Ronan Guilfoyle, and New York drummer Owen Howard. The ensemble swings seamlessly between extended composition and free improvisation, touching on elements of rock, funk, classical music and modern jazz to achieve a remarkable synthesis between composition and improvisation.
