🎶 Featured Artist Spotlight: Gregg August | Bass Bridgetower Project would not be the same without the wonderful bassist and GRAMMY® nominee @gregg.august! Playing with Gregg has been an amazing experience. Beyond being a phenomenal bassist, he has an extraordinary musical intuition and a remarkable ability to listen, respond, and adapt in a chamber music setting. Gregg is also a brilliant composer in his own right, so please be sure to explore his work! Thank you, Gregg, for being part of this collaboration! #BridgetowerProject #GreggAugust #ClassicalMusic #ChamberMusic #PaquitoDRivera by @gregg.august
Getting my butt kicked by Edgar Meyer’s String Quintet(1st movement). But it’s all good. Great piece!! He’s found inventive ways of using the 5/4 meter and displacing the accents. #bass #bassistcomposers #doublebass #doublebassplayer #stringquintets by @gregg.august

Crosscurrents and Cross Rhythms, Dialogues on Race, Volume II is a continuing project that originated in 2009 after Gregg August received a joint commission from the Jerome Foundation and the Jazz Gallery in New York City. What began as a commission for a full length concert work, Dialogues on Race was recorded and released in 2020, receiving a GRAMMY nomination for Best Large Jazz Ensemble album. Crosscurrents and Cross Rhythms, Dialogues on Race, Volume II will be the second installment of the series. The idea behind the work is to create musical dialogue or conversations which discuss race relations in the United States. Through the melodies, arrangements and improvisations, a full discourse takes place. 7pm $20 in Advance $25 door Studio 9 at Porches 231 River St, North Adams, MA by @gregg.august
