The Robber Crabs are a collective for exploring the rare genre of avant-trad jazz. Their style pits early jazz from the 1910s-'20s against contemporary avant-garde improvisational and compositional techniques. They will be recording later this summer.

10pm - Matterhorn

John Blevins - Trumpet, effects, Drew Williams - Bass Clarinet, effects, Jeff McLaughlin - Guitar, effects, Adam Hopkins - Electric Bass, Nathan Ellman-Bell - Drums

An electrifying confluence of jazz, rock, and the avant-garde, Matterhorn's eponymous debut album was co-produced by Shane Endsley of the acclaimed post-rock/jazz outfit Kneebody and released on pfMENTUM records. Matterhorn create a genre-defying music of explosive horn lines searing through churning, ever-shifting rhythmic patterns. 

"As far as debut recordings go, Matterhorn is about as good as it gets…cogent, beautifully realized—both compositionally and in its execution—and a joy to listen to.” — Dave Wayne, AllAboutJazz.com
