SHAPESHIFTER (Toronto)
Shapeshifter is an experimental Canadian jazz trio led by Toronto based saxophonist Brittany Pitt. In the unconventional setting of a bassless trio, Shapeshifter creates atmospheric music that combines angular melodies, spontaneous compositions and rhythmic concepts with atmospheric textures from each contributing member of the trio.
The music blends influences that have affected the bandleader, such as her experience studying and playing in the New York improvised music scene, as well as years of listening to music of the ECM label and other European jazz artists.
Shapeshifter also features drummer Aidan McConnell (Potions, Burs) and guitarist Dan Pitt (Dan Pitt Trio, Dan Pitt Quintet). Both Aidan and Dan have been an integral part of the evolution of Shapeshifter, contributing their musical and performance abilities to both the written and open sections of the music.
