Sylvie Courvoisier - Improvisations and new compositions
It’s no longer extraordinary for contemporary musicians to be comfortable with both classical and improvised music, but pianist and composer Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman are so at ease that the result ceases to fit in either world and moves into new territory. Sylvie Courvoisier can also be heard with John Zorn and Jim Stanley.

Information Infectious, syncopated mid-tempo rhythms of the French-Caribbean make the Manhattan Haitian Dance Party one of S.O.B.’s most successful and longest running weekly series events in the history of the venue. Each week, live bands from Haiti, Guadeloupe and other French speaking Caribbean countries take command of the party and transport you to imaginary walks along white sands.
