Improvised Music Concert Series: Kearan Samsel and Michael Testagrossa

Series Director Craig Hall, a Bozeman-based jazz guitarist, upright bassist, music instructor, composer and lifelong mountaineer, will perform with an array of musical guests. “Modern improvisers use freshly evolving harmonic principles, some buttons and knobs, and good-old-fashioned imagination and trial and error to try to encapsulate human joy and catastrophic shortcomings,” Hall stated in the press release. “Improvised music at the library presents revolving and conjoined snippets of complex thick-harmony jazz, mournful celebratory folk and manipulated electronics that inspire the modern rural mountain-surrounded improviser.”
