Boiler House Jazz proudly presents the first time duo collaboration between Russ Gershon, saxophonist/arranger/composer and leader of Either/Orchestra and John Mulkerin, the long time veteran of the New York downtown jazz scene and member of the groundbreaking and influential group called Defunkt.


Mulkerin and Gershon grew up in adjacent towns in Connecticut, and began playing together in 1976, among a coterie of young players influenced by Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers, John Coltrane et al. Although they haven’t lived in the same area since 1977, they have played together regularly since, often in a funk or rock setting.


Tonight’s program represents a new chapter, as the two horn players will go at without rhythm section, but drawing on their multi-instrumental skills, electronics and their studio experience.
