Lionmilk & Gian Pérez, Marc Edwards & Caroline Morton - Presented by still/moving.co

Lionmilk is Mokichi Kawaguchi: jazz pianist, composer, and producer. A native of LA, he grew up to his mother’s classical radio in the morning, to his brother’s hip hop cds during the day and his father’s jazz records in the evening. From the thriving underground electronic music scenes to the expansive local jazz community, his work reflects the city’s ever changing tendencies.

The free improvisation trio consisting of Gian Perez (guitar), Marc Edwards (drums), and Caroline Morton (bass) blends elements of free jazz, noise rock, and experimental ambient music to create a sound unlike anything heard before in the Downtown music scene: soundscapes that range from high intensity infernos, to the nebulous vastness of outer space. Though relatively new as a unit, this trio has already played at established NY jazz institutions like Nublu, Downtown Music Gallery, Sisters, IBeam, among others. This trio is honored to continue the legacy of Marc Edwards, who has played with giants like Cecil Taylor, Charles Gayle, David S Ware, and Linda Sharrock.
