If you can’t join us for our tour, check out the new video we’re dropping today to celebrate. It’s my piece “MRA” (as in Muhal Richard Abrams) from our release show at Trinosophes in December. Video by Matthew Lima.

With all the activity, August feels like a long ways away, but it’s not. I have some fun things on the horizon that I want to make sure Southeast Michigan audiences know about:

Monday August 14 - Solo - Trixies (Hamtramck)

As a part of Fire Music Mondays, curated by Jonathan Barahal Taylor

Casual, donation based, etc.

Thursday August 17 - Michael Malis Trio - Blue Llama Jazz Club

Featuring Jaribu Shahid (bass) and David Alvarez III (drums)

$15

September, October, and November will all be jam packed with exciting and unique performances, so I’ll be in touch a little more than usual in the Fall. If you’d like to take a pause, just let me know.

Thanks, as always, for your support.
