Live on KUVO: Colorado-based supergroup Convergence on YouTube, Twitch | Thursday 8/14

Next on the “Live from KUVO” series, a session with the supergroup Convergence goes up on our YouTube and Twitch channels, Thursday, August 14, at 11 a.m.

Convergence was formed in 1991, performing and teaching across the country, and was dedicated to the idea of sharing the intimacy and the spark of improvised music with a live audience. The long-time friendships and musical connections between the members of this sextet allow them to create original music that is at once creative and exciting. Their creative collaborations have yielded six critically acclaimed albums - they have been featured on NPR’s “Toast of the Nation” and “Jazz Set” and performed at three International Association for Jazz Education conventions. In New York, they have been featured at the Knitting Factory and the Blue Note.

Maria Schneider writes of Convergence: “Convergence is phenomenal. It's a rare treat to hear a small group play compositions and arrangements that are so rich in ideas and formal development...each musician is truly unique and extraordinary.”

It’s the best in straight-ahead jazz from world-class artists who live in Colorado: Greg Gisbert on trumpet, John Gunther on tenor saxophone, Mark Patterson on trombone, Mark Simon on bass, Eric Gunnison on piano, and Paul Romaine on drums, recorded in KUVO’s Masterpiece Studio.
