Joe McPhee and Joe Rosen at AFA's Evolving series in 2017. By Don Mount.
Vision Festival Lifetime Achievement honoree and free jazz legend Joe McPhee will perform in duo with longtime collaborator, drummer Jay Rosen. McPhee and Rosen first connected through the ensemble Trio X, also featuring bassist Dominic Duval, which debuted at the 1998 Vision Festival. Although McPhee is no stranger to the duo, this is a rare opportunity to see him one-on-one with his longtime battery mate Rosen.
Check out McPhee and Rosen in the above video in a tribute performance to Duval at AFA's Evolving series.

Finally, saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock will present an exciting trio featuring bassist Nick Dunston and drummer Francisco Mela.
