Tim Berne & Nasheet Waits Duo

One of the greatest saxophonists in improvisational music, Tim Berne has ventured to Austin several times under the invitation of the indispensable P.G. Moreno of Epistrophy Arts, most recently with the Fort Worth composers’ tribute Broken Shadows. The New Yorker returns in a duo setting with first-call drummer Nasheet Waits, a veteran of bandleaders from Andrew Hill and Stanley Cowell to David Murray and Jazz Night in America host Christian McBride. The blend of Waits’ swinging grooves with Berne’s outsider sensibilities should provide plenty of fireworks that remain in the pocket. – Michael Toland
