I’m very excited to be performing in Vienna on my first visit to the city, and hope to consume my body weight in Mozartkugeln.

The best accompanying music, they say, is music you don’t hear. But sometimes improv musicians need to be loud and sometimes we want to be number one in the show, wanting to play fast and hot as hell.
Goran Zavrsnik 2016
I am excited to see what will be spontaneously discovered in Vienna.
Randy Dixon 2016
I am excited to create incredible lasting moments at Moment!
