“A New Jazz Power Source . . . a melodic improviser with a natural, flowing sense of song and an experimenter who can create heat and grit with the texture of sound.” —New York Times

The Walker presents Reid’s most ambitious project to date—her full Stringtet, a 15-member improvising chamber orchestra that features stellar jazz and classical players.
