Ember

The Tonearm is dropping a needle on the cultural wax. Check it out.

Band

The Brooklyn, NY based collaborative trio Ember (previously Curtis+Garabedian+Sperrazza) finds itself at the crossroads of musical and personal exploration resulting in true band-hood and non-hierarchical playing. Each of the members - Caleb Wheeler Curtis (alto saxophone, trumpet), Noah Garabedian (bass), and Vinnie Sperrazza (drums) - are integral parts of the NY creative music community as leaders, collaborators and instigators. The music in this trio is organized but open and expressive. Their music opens up the true freedom of improvisation, exploration, and creativity.

In 2021 they released, "No One Is Any One," featuring Orrin Evans on piano on Sunnyside Records. Their latest release, "August In March" is available everywhere now from Imani Records.
