The noisier side of jazz will be heard in the second and third hours with new music played by Harold Mabern, the Debbie Poryes Trio, Emi Meyer, the group Hudson, a Martian Solal/Dave Liebman duet, Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd playing a Monk tune, a tribute to Miles Davis, pianist Florian Hoeffner, Ran Blake, Tyshawn Sorey, Gerald Beckett and the big bands of Alan Ferber and Chuck Owen.
