Composer Tyshawn Sorey (who is best known as a drummer) is featured as the lead music story by music/film/travel scribe Steve Dollar in the current week’s issue of Time Out New York (see the story here). The article is pegged to Tyshawn’s upcoming month of programming during August at The Stone, John Zorn’s renowned experimental music venue in New York’s Lower East Side and an upcoming new CD release with guitarist Todd Neufeld and bassist/guitarist Thomas Morgan.
Sorey, who was born and raised in Newark, NJ and educated at William Paterson University, has, at 29 years of age, played with a who’s who of leading jazz and creative music artists including Steve Coleman, Wadada Leo Smith, Dave Douglas, Vijay Iyer, Michelle Rosewoman, Mark Helias, Steve Lehman, Pete Robbins and many others.
Sorey is now also being featured at the popular improvised music blog, Destination:Out, where he talks about music, unedited and in his own words. The post also features two full downloadable mp3s from the forthcoming album, “Koan,” which will be released September 29, 2009 on 482 Music, a label dedicated to developing talents.
