Featuring Howard Wiley (sax), Aneesa Strings (bass), and Thomas Pridgen (drums).
Howard Wiley is “The most prodigious Bay Area saxophonist of his generation” (Berkeleyside). Having been mentored by Bay Area great Jules Broussard and sharing formative bandstand experiences with the likes of Clark Terry, Jason Moran, Orrin Evans, and Lauryn Hill, the Berkeley-born Wiley is a shining example of innate musical talent meeting opportunity born of hard lessons well learned. Association with the Thelonious Monk Institute and GRAMMY All-American Jazz Band established Wiley as a young talent on the rise, and his work as a professional has more than made good on his prodigious beginnings.
