About this Event
Basher is New Orleans' premiere "free jazz party band," playing highly improvisational songs with a joyous spirit, as if Ornette Coleman was a member of a New Orleans brass band, propelled by saxophone, analog and modular synthesizers and drums. Led by saxophonist and composer Byron Asher, Basher has garnered the adoration of the New Orleans creative music scene with its combination of danceable grooves, anthemic melodies, and wild clash of acoustic and electronic textures. They've been playing jazz clubs, listening rooms, dive bars, train tunnels, and arenas across the US since 2017. In 2022, they released their LP Doubles on Sinking City Records, which Downbeat gave 4 stars, claiming it "slaps," and Pitchfork called "unbearably beautiful." In 2024, they released their new LP May Day, also on Sinking City, which We Jazz Magazine called “perfect for a euphoric release.
About Byron Asher: Byron Asher is a saxophonist and clarinetist and composer based in New Orleans and working at the intersection of broadly experimental composition and jazz and improvised music. Raised in Maryland, he has become an integral member of New Orleans’ creative music community since arriving there in 2011, working as a bandleader, collaborator, improviser, composer, and curator. In spring 2024, he released two new LPs on Sinking City Records: Lord, when you send the rain, the second release from his celebrated large ensemble project Skrontch Music, and May Day, from his “free jazz party band” Basher.
