Tyshawn Sorey “One of five drummers whose time is now.” – New York Times “A surprising and original voice.” – Time Out One of the Top Jazz Albums of 2009 – NPR and Village Voice Steve Lehman “Music of genuinely visionary importance.” – Penguin Guide to Jazz “A major new voice in jazz.” - BBC Best Jazz Album of 2009 – NY Times and Jazz Times Todd Neufeld “Brings a fresh integrity to the music.” – Jazz Hot “Uses space as a composer, letting harmonics fill out a room as if Derek Bailey were playing with Talk Talk.” -NPR Tyshawn Sorey is an active composer, performer, educator, and scholar who works across an extensive range of musical idioms. As a percussionist, trombonist, and pianist, Tyshawn has performed and recorded internationally with his own ensembles and with those led by Muhal Richard Abrams, Steve Coleman, Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris, Michele Rosewoman, Anthony Braxton, Vijay Iyer, Wadada Leo Smith, Dave Douglas, and Billy Bang, among many others. Sorey‘s work has been favorably reviewed by National Public Radio, Village Voice, The Wire, New York Times, and Downbeat Magazine. Tyshawn has also appeared in Downbeat Magazine’s Annual Critics’ Poll since 2007. Destination: OUT is a website dedicated to adventurous jazz. We highlight music that upends the polite musical clichés of the genre. Our typical jazz offerings might sound more like rock, psychedelia, funk, classical, ambient, or electronica. You may think you don’t like jazz – but you might think differently once you hear the selections on our site. We’ve been praised by The New Yorker, BBC Radio, Wired, The New York Times, and The Wire. Our Loft/Lab Concert Series aims to recreate the excitement of the great jazz lofts of the 1970s. It'll be a lab where adventurous musicians can try out new ideas, configurations, and compositions. We aim to serve up live music without a net.
