Cutout

Cutout is a Boston-based quintet whose members have deep and decades-long collaborative roots in various groups. Original compositions are interspersed with improvisations, and use “instant-arranging” techniques inspired by free-jazz forms from North America and Europe. Often two or three pieces segue into each other forming a longer “suite” with connecting improvised segments. In this recording from January 2019, all members contribute compositions.

CliffPools

CliffPools is the merging of two different trios, Cliff (Driff CD1803), and Pools (Driff CD1802). This tantalizing, never-used instrumentation of two basses, two drum sets, and one piano offers a rich and exciting sound texture into which a shared language of improvisation blooms. This recording features original pieces by Pandelis Karayorgis, as well as improvised tracks based on prepared sketches and ideas.
