The Separatist Party + Knobil
Récif • Festival Jazz à Lyon
The Separatist Party
The Separatist Party, American drummer Mike Reed‘s new sextet, fuses Chicago’s current hybrid sound with a wide range of styles and influences. The Separatist Party features cornet player Ben LaMar Gay, the psychedelic trio Bitchin’ Bajas and poet and singer Marvin Tate.
