Synopsis:

Get ready for an evening of high energy, party jazz with two of the hottest jazz acts from the Japanese live house scene—TRI4TH and CALMERA. With brassy trumpets and saxophones a-blazing, death-defying improvisations and hard-hitting swing, the two bands incite a Horns Riot in this double bill concert.
