As part of the concert series XJAZZ Live we are very excited to present:
Jonah Parzen-Johnson
Presented by: ASK HELMUT, FluxFM & HHV Records
Jonah Parzen-Johnson, a resident of Brooklyn NY, plays music for solo baritone saxophone and hardware electronics. Imagine the raw energy of an Appalachian choir, balanced by a fearlessly exposed saxophone voice, resting on a unique combination of electronic components sitting on the floor in front of him. It all breathes together, as he uses his feet to weave a surging base for folk inspired saxophone melodies, overblown multi phonics, and patiently developed circular breathing passages. Every element is performed and recorded live, solo, without any looping or overdubbing. It is music with texture, and depth, but most of all, it is direct and grounded in performance. Jonah remains deeply committed to music that connects to the listener.
