Sudden Sound presents Sam Newsome

The Sudden Sound concert series returns with a webinar event format featuring exclusive pre-recorded performance content and a live discussion with a guest artist in the field of improvised music and the jazz avant-garde.

Our premiere presentation will feature soprano saxophonist Sam Newsome offering original, extended solo works and conversation on the music with series curator Jason Finkelman. Viewers are encouraged to submit questions upon registration or during the presentation.
Dedicated to expanding the sonic boundaries of solo saxophone performance since 2006, New York-based Sam Newsome creates improvisatory art music expressed through a personalized sound palette of extended techniques where jazz functions as a foundational resource. Newsome’s seventh solo release, “Chaos Theory: Song Cycles for Prepared Saxophone” (2019) features concepts and methodologies which allow him to delve further into the sonic crevices of his instrument.
