ABOUT THIS SHOW

Maria Chávez, Shahzad Ismaily (Arooj Aftab, Ceramic Dog) and Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) came together as a trio for the first time for a show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in May 2025. That debut performance received a glowing review in The Wire, where writer Vanessa Ague heralded it as "a reminder of the sheer joy of seeing what surprises we can find in sound".

"Seeing is Forgetting combines analog synths (Elori Saxl) with baritone saxophone + bass clarinet (Henry Solomon). Drawing equal parts from American jazz abstraction, New York classical minimalism, and contemporary pop's sense of harmony, form, and hooks, the album is an exploration in presence, physicality, intuition, and vulnerability."

The Cedar is thrilled to present these cutting-edge artists together for one night only.
