Many vital New York venues have presented TILT Brass projects over its 6 year history including Whitney Museum, BAM Café, Joe’s Pub, The Stone, Issue Project Room, Barbés, and Tonic. In addition to performing historical and contemporary works by luminaries from the experimental tradtion, the repertoire for both groups features over a dozen original compositions created with TILT’s distinctive ensemble concept in mind. This ever-evolving list of idiosyncratic pieces includes works by Anthony Coleman, John King, Chris Jonas, Taylor Ho Bynum, and by group members Norton and Director Chris McIntyre.
On May 9, 2007, TILT Brass Band offered the first performance of its new six-piece project SIXtet in an immersive set of music by composers John King, Fredric Rzewski, and TILT director and trombonist Chris McIntyre. SIXtet featured pairs of trumpets, trombones, and tuba, all played by TILT’s unusually deep pool of creative musicians including trumpeters Nate Wooley and Russ Johnson, and trombonist Curtis Hasselbring.

Zane Ally – The Parrot Takes A Solo
Zane Ally
Scant biographical information on this Valdosta, Georgia Free Jazz/Free Improvisation cooperative. The lineup includes Zane Ally on guitar, Mike Walton on saxophone, Curtis Moody on Drums and Justin Powell on trumpet. Other sometime contributors include Tobias Mostel on grand piano and Austin Smith (trumpet & trombone). Zane Ally’s microtonal electric guitar is an uncommon and compelling recurring feature and the group’s liberal use of detuned instruments (piano, dulcimer) and artifactual sounds (clock radios) add an unexpected dimension.
