2014 Jazz Journalist & Downbeat Winner for Soprano Saxophone and NASA artist Jane Ira Bloom brings her NightSkywriting Trio to the Cornelia Street Café for the first time. She’s joined by long-time bandmates Mark Dresser on bass and drummer & elektro acoustic percussionist Jerry Granelli. The trio’s collaboration dates back to Bloom’s 1993 Art & Aviation recording project following her commission for the NASA Art Program.

The Night Skywriting Trio has performed site-specific concert performances collaborating with planetarium light shows at The National Air & Space Museum’s Einstein Planetarium in Washington DC and the Novins Planetarium in New Jersey. They’ve also performed live in concert at the Museum of Natural History’s Rose Center and the Kennedy Space Center.

They look forward to a special performance on October 4 at Flagstaff Arizona’s Coconino Center for the Arts sponsored by the Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition in honor of the “Celebration of the Night” and “Year of the Night Sky.” Flagstaff is the location of the famous Lowell Observatory where research astronomer Brian Skiff first discovered the asteroid now known by the International Astronomical Society as asteroid 6083janeirabloom.

Don’t miss these seasoned sonic explorers as they navigate the space ways.  They always find new ways to jetison the trio into zero-g and beyond.
