Root Cellar

Root Cellar formed in 2017, bringing together a diverse group of musicians with backgrounds in jazz, rock, classical, and the avant garde. The juxtaposition and cohesion of these styles can be heard in both the ensemble's original compositions and their exploratory improvisations: angular hard bop figurations which melt into hypnotically motorik grooves, poignant post-rock textures erupting into cacophonous free jazz convulsions; and cannily polished ensemble arrangements flowering into atmospheric spaces, always emphasizing each player's idiosyncratic improvisational voices.
