Miles Okazaki: Trickster

Trickster was formed in 2015 as a side project while Miles Okazaki, Anthony Tidd, and Sean Rickman were working as the rhythm section for Steve Coleman and Five Elements. The group has released four albums of compositions by Miles Okazaki on Pi Recordings and toured extensively. Their latest album Live in Brooklyn is described by the New York Times as “head-spinning, rump-shaking, wholly unpredictable next-generation indie guitar jazz . . . mischievous, a restless mix of angular grooves, searching collective improvisation and spiraling vortices of sound.”  For this performance, Trickster will feature Miles Okazaki on guitar, Matt Mitchell on piano, Anthony Tidd on bass, and Gene Lake on drums.
