“Inspired by the musical worlds of Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Ali Farka Toure, Ethiopian Jazz, Gnawa, and Charles Mingus, Avram Fefer has forged a highly original sound within a modern jazz context.”  - All About Jazz

“Global spiritual music — embracing a concept of jazz that highlights the transcendental power of groove, the narrative power of melody, and the intellectual power of improvisation.”

House Concert in Ken’s amazing Williamsburg loft space full of his art and invented instruments. An improvised set of never-before heard sounds by a trio of NY creatives in a live first-time musical encounter.

Avram Fefer - Saxes

Ken Butler - Hybrid Instruments

Vin Scalia - Percussion

Groove-based modern jazz with influences from Africa and the Middle-East. Multi- instrumental jazz composer Avram Fefer and multidisciplinary performing artist Carl Hancock Rux combine their talents in this exciting ensemble honoring the unparalleled contributions of Jewish and African Americans to American culture; specifically the remarkable history of collaboration in America’s greatest musical gift to the wider world — the music we call Jazz. Bringing together the compositional and improvisational skills of the saxophonist and the powerful voice of the renowned word artist, these two veteran NYC performers will lead The Afro-Semitic Transcendental Repertory Orchestra (A.S.T.R.O.) through a diverse set of sophisticated global jazz that celebrates Liberation and Transcendence in all its forms.
