Australian bassist Desmond White brings his group to Cornelia st to perform music from a new suite of songs that
continues his work of integrating jazz and singer/songwriter lexicons. Having released two albums of such
material for Biophilia Records, Short Stories in 2013 and Glace in 2017, this new material attempts to further
shirk the often personal or perceived genre-based constraints that all musicians encounter; the marriage of
improvisational freedom to cohesive lyrical storytelling often being the perennial challenge. Joining him for the
evening are three musicians already known for their versatility and adventurous spirits.
