A wildly creative and original musical voice, San Francisco saxophonist and composer Beth Schenck writes bracing music that blends lush harmonies with fierce propulsiveness and surprising rhythmic twists and turns. Her quintet features some of the Bay Area’s most adventurous improvisers, supporting her compositions which have been praised as “frank and beautiful” (MetalJazz.com) and “reliably enthralling” (San Francisco Chronicle).
