Complex, intricate, idiosyncratic, and rockin’—those are the adjectives
that best describe this cross-border collaboration between Vancouver
guitarist Gordon Grdina, and New York’s Matt Mitchell piano, and Jim Black
drums. Juno Award winner Grdina’s compositions give the nod to 20th century
classical composition, rock, free jazz, and third stream, and this trio
promises to explore those ideas at their highest levels.

*Gordon Grdina* is known for his incredible versatility and ability to
bring a fresh and edgy vibe to any ensemble he joins or forms. His musical
output is diverse, including 10-piece Arabic/avant-garde ensemble Haram,
the intricate GG Quartet and cinematic GG Septet, high-energy collective
Grdina/Houle/Loewen, free-punk duo Peregrine Falls, and contemporary
Persian-influenced ensembles Qalandar and The Marrow.

*Gordon Grdina has managed to place a finger in every corner of the
jazz/world fusion room.*

—Pop Matters

*Jim Black* is a legend in the downtown New York jazz and improv scene and
a world-renowned drummer. He plays with Endangered Blood, Banda de los
Muertos, and Human Feel.

*Matt Mitchell* is a mainstay on the New York jazz scene playing with
internationally acclaimed ensembles like the Dave Douglas Quintet and John
Hollenbeck’s Large Ensemble.

The music of Brooklyn-transplant Missoula-based saxophonist and
composer, *Loren
Stillman*, has found acclaimed reviews in such publications as The New York
Times, Downbeat Magazine, Jazziz, Jazz Times, and National Public Radio,
marking him as an innovative voice of modern jazz. With his training
stemming from Lee Konitz and David Liebman to Harvey Pittel, Stillman has
performed, recorded, and educated throughout the United States, Europe, and
Japan.

*Naomi Siegel* is a trombonist, composer and educator with a jazz
background. Her music ranges from folk music to world dance music to
experimental improvisational music. In 2012, she received the Earshot Jazz
Golden Ear Award for Best Emerging Artist. In June 2016 she released her
debut album Shoebox View, which received widespread acclaim, dubbed as
“marvelous,” “captivating” and “seductive” by press outlets such as
Downbeat Magazine, Jazziz, and All About Jazz.

*Lakebottom Sound is now a sponsored organization of Arts Missoula and can
be treated as a non-profit under their umbrella.*
