Description
Swarm intelligence (swawrm in-tel-i-juhns) n. 1. the aggregate behavior of self-organized, decentralized systems (e.g. the collective decision-making of bees), 2. a sextet synthesizing the duo Grex with the instrumentation and rhythmic concept of modern jazz (reeds/bass/drums), evoking the timbres and improvisational acumen of the likes of the Paul Motian Trio, Liberation Music Orchestra, Marion Brown, and Bennie Maupin while tethering itself to the multi-idiomatic sensibilities of contemporary chamber pop.Strap on your magic caps. A brand new venture, Swarm Intelligence will be joined by Ross Hammond's new quartet (featuring a combination of California all-stars--Vinny Golia, Steuart Liebig, and Alex Cline).
