With origins reaching back to the Asian Arts Movement and New York Loft scenes of the 1970s, and work in ensuing decades in Jazz, opera, film, and with artists such as Henry Threadgill, Anthony Braxton, Butch Morris, Wadada Leo Smith, Pauline Oliveros, and Tomeka Reid, Jason Kao Hwang has constructed a uniquely multi-faceted legacy in American music. For this rare trip to Seattle the award-winning violinist explores improvised and intricately composed sonic landscapes with his stellar Human Rites Trio.
…this is heavy, profound music. - Philip Freeman, Downbeat Magazine
