Desvelo’, the latest project of Spanish guitarist/composer Álvaro Domene, is an explosive, genre-defying quartet featuring New York’s heavy hitters Briggan Krauss (alto sax), Josh Sinton (bari sax/bass clarinet), and Mike Pride (drums). Through this fascinating ensemble, Desvelo presents an evolutionary progression in Domene’s compositional technique, boldly unifying elements of avant-garde jazz and 20th-century classical music with experimental metal.

Underworld Alchemy
Sarah Manning: Alto saxophone/Composer, Briggan Krauss: Electric Guitar, Simon Jermyn: Electric Bass and Gerald Cleaver: Drums
Silver alto and electric guitar becomes a green lion that devours the sun. Electric bass to agitate and ignite. Drums and percussion to stir, rumble and clank like a furnace in a subterranean laboratory. The secret of alchemy is mastery of the illusion. We’ll take you somewhere in the dark – and leave you to find the way out.
“Not only is Sarah Manning a fearless and intense player, she’s a fearless and intense composer…Restless, irrepressible, unafraid and unfailingly terse…” — Lucid Culture
