"...brainy output" - DownBeat
"...Endectomorph Music is in the midst of a prolific run. Part of its strength lies in the fact that it doesn’t adhere to a particular sound, even in a general sense." - The New York City Jazz Record

FRIDAY
7pm // Simón Willson is a Chilean born, New York City based bassist, composer and improviser. His wide-ranging interest in different realms of Jazz, popular, and improvised music has led him to work regularly with a diverse pool of established artists such as Dave Douglas, Ethan Iverson, Jason Palmer, Jonathan Kreisberg, Frank Carlberg, Roxana Amed, the Mark Morris Dance Group, among many others. Willson has released three albums to date: “Good Company” in 2023 on Fresh Sound Records, while “Bet” and “Feel Love” were released in 2025 on Endectomorph Music to high critical acclaim.
8pm // Nick Joz is a multi-disciplinary musician based in New York City. A hired gun for many cutting-edge artists in the avant- garde jazz field, Joz’s solo work is electro-acoustic, leading from his primary instruments, the double bass and the cello. His varied methods include improvisation, collage, beat making, vinyl mixing and analog synthesizer solos.
9pm // Award-winning pianist and composer Dabin Ryu brings cerebral depth and emotional richness to every performance. Ryu’s music reflects a profound grasp of jazz history, filtered through a highly personal lens. Winner of the 2024 UNISA International Piano Competition and the 2025 Jazz Gallery Residency Commission, she has played iconic venues like Smalls and Dizzy’s, and collaborated with greats like Ralph Peterson. With her trio, she explores original compositions with nuance, improvisational elegance, and magnetic presence.
SATURDAY
7pm // Prawntail is a collaborative jazz trio featuring drummer Steven Crammer, pianist Evan Main, and bassist Walter Stinson, which released its self-titled debut album on Endectomorph Music on November 7, 2025. The group is known for its conversational, improvised style and features original compositions, including "Prince '37," composed by Crammer.
8pm // Ludovica Burtone is an Italian violinist, composer and arranger with an incomparable wealth of musical experiences. Her vast compositional oeuvre extends from classical quartets to Brazilian music and contemporary jazz.
9pm // PRNCX blurs the lines between composition and improvisation by more than merely invoking a “liminal space”, since composition and improvisation do not necessarily exist as polarities on the same spectrum. Through juxtaposing, uniting, and/or accentuating the differences between several modes of improvisation, composition, and notation, PRNCX walks a thin line between coherence and chaos.
