Virtuoso bassist and composer Mark Dresser is returning to Cornelia Street Cafe with some new compositions after a triumphant concert last November His quintet of long time collaborators includes the highly esteemed alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, trombonist Michael Dessen, hyperpianist Denman Maroney, and drummer Tom Rainey. Don’t miss it!”
“Mr. Dresser, a bassist who is one of the great instrumental forces in recent American jazz outside of the mainstream…New York Times
“Mark Dresser needs no introduction. From his work in the ‘80s with the now “classic” Forces in Motion Braxton Quartet to his “90’s work with Zorn and Threadgill and as a part of the Dave Douglas String Project, Dresser seems to be always at the center of what’s happening next…..Complex but clear and emotional, edgy but tonal, always telling a story, this is perhaps as good as post-Free Jazz gets….Dresser may be among the premier Jazz bassists of our time..
