8:30pm. MAZZARELLA/HÅKER FLATEN/RA TRIO & HEAVEN ORCHESTRA Norwegian bassist and former Chicago resident Ingebrigt Håker Flaten returns to Chicago to present two configurations that represent his deep roots here - an active working trio, and a large ensemble blowout featuring a who's who of the contemporary Chicago improvised music scene. SET 1 : MAZZARELLA/HÅKER FLATEN/RA TRIO Nick Mazzarella – alto saxophone Inbebrigt Håker Flaten – bass Avreeayl Ra – drums The ongoing collaboration between alto saxophonist Nick Mazzarella, bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and drummer Avreeayl Ra brings together three generations of improvised music practitioners. Through a unique creative chemistry, the trio’s music connects the distinctive instrumental voices and compositional sensibilities of each member into a unified expression. To date, the group has recorded two albums for the Astral Spirits imprint: Azimuth, released in 2015, and What You Seek Is Seeking You, released in 2021.
