Ed Schuller, bass
Tom Rainey, drums
Lossing brings together two long time collaborators, each of whom he has worked with separately for a quarter-century on various projects ,
for an evening of music that reflects a duality of influences in his musical life.
Lossing's brief but intense study with John Cage in the early '80s and his 12 year association with Paul Motian inform the music that the trio will
perform on this occasion. Schuller, who played and recorded with Motian for years, provides the solidity of the jazz bass tradition
combined with vast experience and uncanny abilities in open ended dialogues. Tom Rainey brings his perfect combination of deeply informed drumming with
wildly imaginative and empathetic responsiveness.
The trio will perform four new compositions by Lossing, framed by fragments of Motian's classic works and re-workings of two Cage pieces.
