"The evening was transformed into an extraordinary and lyrical happening with music of ethereal light" —IL GIORNALE
Adam Rudolph (below) and Joseph Bowie (right) first performed together in 2000 at Lincoln Center with Yusef Lateef. They have collaborated together in numerous projects since then, including a trio with Omar Sosa and, most recently, in Adam Rudolph’s Moving Pictures. 
Their music is grounded in the American improvisational tradition while embracing music forms, languages, instrumentation, and cosmologies of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the African Diaspora. Decades of performance and research into these music cultures have given the artists the background and experience to create a unique and unprecedented improvisational art form.
