Keith Butler, Jr. and Seysow

Composer/drummer Keith Butler Jr, with members of his group Seysow (pronounced "say so"), play at Mary Riley Styles Public Library on March 29th at 2pm. On this program, Keith will play excerpts of his Little City Concerts commissioned work, tentatively titled Rest/Imagine: Themes for a Bloodline. Written for Seysow (flute, piano, bass, drums), this piece is a rumination on literacy, black imagination, and the often unspoken history of families. For this performance, Keith will be joined by flutist/vocalist Alex Hamburger and bassist Stephen Arnold. Members of Seysow are mainstays in the DMV jazz/experimental music scene, and have played at venues around the city like The Kennedy Center, the DC Jazz Festival, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Twins Jazz, the Strathmore Music Center, and Blues Alley. Seysow will perform the piece in its entirety on Saturday, April 5th on a Little City Concerts program at the Falls Church Episcopal.
