Video: Andrew Cyrille perform Live at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music 2013

The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music presents Andrew Cyrille. Andrew Cyrille is perhaps the preeminent Haitian free-jazz percussionist of the 1980s and '90s. Few free-jazz drummers play with a tenth of Cyrille's grace and authority. His energy is unflagging, his power absolute, tempered only by an ever-present sense of propriety.

Featuring:
Dorothea "Micky" Davidson - dance
Henry Grimes - bass
Adriel Williams* - violin, tap dance
