Location:
Lilypad Inman | 1353 Cambridge St, Cambridge 02139

OddSong is a unique ensemble, put together by composer and director of the Jazz Composers Alliance (JCA) Darrell Katz. The group began as the JCA Sax Quartet, which has always had five members, including vocalist Rebecca Shrimpton, and eventually it was expanded to include violin and marimba. 

OddSong's bold and adventurous new music is primarily composed by Darrell Katz, with additional music by Helen Sherrah-Davies. The musical collaborators for OddSong's Lilypad performance include:
Alto saxophones: Jim Hobbs and Rick Stone;
Tenor, soprano and sopranino saxophone: Phil Scarff;
Baritone Saxophone and bass clarinet: Melanie Howell Brooks;
Violin and piano: Helen Sherrah-Davies
Vibraphone and Marimba: Vessela Stoyanova
Voice: Rebecca Shrimpton

The evening at Lilypad Inman promises to be full of multi-stylistic explorations, with a wide range of influences and directions. Blues, contemporary chamber music, tango, collective improvisation, world music, and more will all be part of the experience.
