BIOS:
Boldt Fog is an experimental free improvised music trio based in Philadelphia. It is deft mountaineering, a meeting at the summit of interiors, reaching through the billiow to give offerings. In the space is Toshi Makihara (percussionist), Carlos Santiago (Violinist), and Aaron Pond (Hornist). The music, the outflowing and in-passing, is of the moment, non-idiomatic. But rest assured there is chroma; there is bile, there is balance, there is a power greater than ourselves. Stronger than itself?
Jonah Gelbart is a trumpeter/composer/shofar blower based in Central PA and West Chester areas, whose music integrates trans-idiomatic improvisation, Jewish folklore, and heavy influences of postwar modernism.
