This new quartet featuring Madeleine Ertel on trumpet, Reknee Harrett on bass, Naomi McCarroll-Butler on alto saxophone and clarinet, and drummer/ percussionist Joe Sorbara begins a monthly residency at the TRANZAC on the second Wednesday of each month at 10pm.

We will explore our own original music; pieces by free jazz luminaries such as Carla Bley, John Carter, Ornette Coleman, and Andrew Hill; and, importantly, compositions by other members of the Toronto creative music community. To that end, after a few months of settling in, the plan is to have a guest each month who will add a few original compositions to our book and join us in playing their music to open the night.
