Brooklyn Meets Ann Arbor: New Music & Improvisation
Tropos + Fortune Teller Trio (feat. Yuma Uesaka & Kenji Lee)

Description: Brooklyn-based improviser-composer collective Tropos, featuring University
of Michigan ’14 alum Yuma Uesaka, returns to Ann Arbor for a double bill with Kenji Lee’s
Fortune Teller Trio. Rooted in the improvisational spirit of jazz and creative music while

brings what critic Nate Chinen describes as an “engaging balance of precision and daring.”

workshop process with mentor Darius Jones. Fortune Teller Trio’s music similarly balances
craft and spontaneity, making for an evening of thoughtfully composed forms, audacious
improvisation, and shared musical values. Fortune Teller Trio features Kenji Lee (tenor
saxophone), Andy Peck (double bass), and Jonathan Barahal Taylor (drums).

Håkon Kornstad, saxophone & operatic tenor – The Tenor Who Plays
Tenor

Description: By using his imagination and a simple electronic device to record and play
back loops as he performs, Håkon Kornstad realizes in concert the idea so aptly
expressed by the title of his album Symphonies in My Head. His instrumental skill is
unsurpassed: beautiful tone on whichever saxophone he selects, percussive sounds made
by the use of the instrument’s keys and tonguing techniques, a colorful palette broadened
by the expert use of overtones. Rhapsodic, improvised melodies glide over sonic layers
that grow into an orchestral accompaniment. This artistic richness would be enough for
most, but Kornstad’s restless curiosity took him into unexpected territory. He found new
inspiration in opera and developed his voice as an operatic tenor. Bringing his two tenors
together, saxophonist and singer, he has created an unprecedented sound, an evocative
“tenor battle” that emerges in the single person of this singular artist.

Personnel/Artists: Håkon Kornstad, operatic tenor & tenor saxophone
