Territory 42 & Mike Mahoney’s “Becoming Animal”

Territory 42, a band playing original material that centers itself on improvisation, reaches into the styles of modern, free and progressive jazz. The band incorporates hip-hop and rock influences over a jazz foundation working to keep the music fresh and alive. They have been known to perform entire sets off of smaller ideas, rather than pre-written compositions, and developing them over time to create more complex compositions stemming from group improvisations. Brian Blaker, Tenor and Soprano Saxes, Electronics (Swift Technique, Pitch Axes, ¡Do That Thing!); Alexander Roysdon, Alto and Bari Saxes (Swift Technique, Trouble City All-Stars, Toy Soldiers, Captain Black Big Band); Steve Lyons, Bass (Bodega, Josiah Wise Band, Coppertonic, Greg Matthews Quartet); Marcus Myers, Drums (LP Stiles/Max Swan, Josiah Wise Band, ¡Do That Thing!)

Mike Mahoney’s “BECOMING ANIMAL” is a thunderous force of wild nature migrating through the depths & stretches of 21st century consciousness.
