The Free Sound Ahn-somble Features Guest Artist Samia in Jazz Concert Tonight

The Free Sound Ahn-somble, the resident jazz ensemble of Tenth Intervetion, is set to perform tonight, April 15 with an appearance by guest artisti Samia.

With all the traditional elements of a big band, along with the modern and diverse compositional style of Dorian Wallace, The Free Sound Ahn-somble delivers an experience that is improvisational, honest, and from the heart.

The Free Sound Ahn-somble combines the styles of 20th/21st Century composers (Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg) alongside fusion groove masters (Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman). Wallace's music, while complex, is accessible to audiences new to jazz, contemporary classical, avant-garde, and improvisatory art music.

The innovative, 17-piece jazz ensemble is under the direction of composer/pianist Dorian Wallace. With traditional elements of a true big band and the modern and diverse compositional style of Wallace, Dorian Wallace and The Free Sound Ahn-somble provides both an enjoyable and educational experience for the jazz novice and a challenging and surprising experience for more seasoned listeners.

With influences as wide-ranging as Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Freddie Mercury, and Aretha Franklin, Samia's music and voice are a soul-stirring, heart-thumping blend of rock, pop, blues, and soul.

The Free Sound Ahn-somble is the resident jazz ensemble of TENTH INTERVENTION, a new music consortium "of progressive-minded players and groups looking to dispense with some rules." (Time Out NY).
