RighteousGIRLS

RighteousGIRLS (flutist Gina Izzo and pianist Erika Dohi) celebrate the release of their debut album gathering blue, with help from guest artists Andy Akiho, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Justin Brown. gathering blue draws together RighteousGIRLS and their collaborators in duo/trio settings (drums, steel-pan, trumpet) while integrating improvisation and post-production techniques.

gathering blue, out July 28 on New Focus Recordings, features music by nine contemporary classical and jazz artists including Akiho, Akinmusire, Pascal Le Boeuf, Christian Carey, Vijay Iyer, Dave Molk, Mike Perdue, Jonathan Ragonese, Randy Woolf. Their music incorporates complex meters, improvisation, and nonconventional forms, illustrating the duo's evolution and the colors they've collected. Virtuosic, adventurous, and charismatic, RighteousGIRLS play with white-hot intensity and cool control.
