Friday February 25 * 7pm * MASKS, PROOF OF VAX REQUIRED

Mostly Other People Do the Killing is proud to celebrate the release of their new recording, "Disasters Vol. 1" on February 19th on Hot Cup Records. Bassist and bandleader, Moppa Elliott, penned a series of compositions exploring a wide variety of natural and man-made disasters that have befallen small towns in his native Pennsylvania. The trio recorded these tunes in the summer of 2020 as the Covid restrictions in the New York area were briefly relaxed. The current disaster of the ongoing pandemic looms large in this music, as MOPDtK bring their unique, swinging, rollicking sense of musical fun to the proceedings, alternating between the tragedy and comedy of the material. This music contains antibodies that fight off existential sadness!

Zara is a new ensemble led by saxophonist and composer Sarah Hughes. It includes saxophonist Brian Falkowski, violinist Jamie Sandel, french hornist Abram Wolfe Mamet, trombonist Kirsten Warfield, bassist Steve Arnold, and drummer Nate Scheible. Hughes' compositions provide structure for both conventional jazz improvisation as well as conceptual and collective improvisations by ensemble members.
