Ashley Urquhart and Friends - [excerpt from first piece]

Given the central role she played in bringing a piano down to Wenona's basement, allowing the opportunity to book a wider range of musicians, it felt important to have Ashley Urquhart come and play that piano at TCB. For the occasion, she assembled this trio with Brittany Craig on saxophone and Stefan Hegerat on percussion. Circling around some insistent drone/plunk continua, there were tasty little horn honks and hesitation beats accompanying Urquhart's piano moves.
