Free | Registration encouragedSay goodbye to the 2023 season of Take 5: Jazz at SAAM, celebrating a uniquely American art form. This last performance of the year features siblings Ebban and Ephraim Dorsey from Baltimore. Both Ebban and Ephraim are composers and bandleaders; Ebban is an alto saxophonist while Ephraim is a tenor saxophonist.
The pair have performed at Bohemian Caverns, Dizzy’s Coca Cola Club, Caton Castle, Keystone Korner, and the Montclair Jazz Festival. While members of NYO Jazz 2021, Ebban and Ephraim recorded an album.
Take your experience up a notch! Grab a board game to play and purchase refreshments from the Courtyard Café to enjoy with the smooth sounds. Come early and explore SAAM's exhibition Musical Thinking: New Video Art and Sonic Strategies and discover the new and often unexpected ways art and sound go hand in hand. |
