Henry Threadgill

"In for a Penny, In for a Pound" is the latest installment in saxophonist/flutist/composer Henry Threadgill’s on going exploration of his singular system for integrating composition with group improvisation.

The music for his band Zooid — Threadgill’s main music-making vehicle for the past fourteen years and the longest running band of his illustrious forty plus-year career — is no less than his attempt to completely deconstruct standard jazz form, steering the improvisatory language towards an entirely new system based on preconceived series of intervals.
