The Creative Music Series Presents
Togetherness! began in Montreal in 2016, and the Boston edition was born in 2019. Both groups have been active across Canada and the US, performing joyful, adventurous, swinging music from South Africa and beyond. At the heart of the music are compositions by Abdullah Ibrahim, Dudu Pukwana, Johnny Dyani, William Parker, Don Cherry, Ellwood Epps, and more. They are a who’s who of Boston Jazz musicians, long time part of the core of the creative scene:
Ellwood Epps (trumpet)
Jeb Bishop (trombone),
Jorrit Dijkstra (saxophones),
Nathan McBride (bass),
Curt Newton (drums),
Matt Crane (percussion
