LunÀtico is thrilled to present this supreme quartet led by adventurous guitarist Brandon Seabrook as they prepare for an upcoming release. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Brandon Seabrook - guitar
Bill Frisell - guitar
Rashaan Carter - bass
Marcus Gilmore - drums

BRANDON SEABROOK’s new quartet, UTILITY MODERN, features jazz legend Bill Frisell  alongside Seabrook on dueling guitars, Marcus Gilmore on drums and Rashaan Carter on bass. Rooted in deep grooves, through-composed pieces featuring Seabrook’s unique sonic palate, and free improvisation, this ensemble brings a joyous and dynamic energy to the stage that is sure to induce foot-stomping and mind-expansion in equal measure. 

Few guitarists in improvised music seem to generate more palpable sonic friction than BRANDON SEABROOK. His groups produce a seriously tactile, almost psychedelic sound: the gut-punch of drums, the rumbling twang of bass, and the slashing, brittle crunch of electric guitar. On Seabrook’s 2020 Exultations recording, these sounds coalesced into gritty, propulsive improvisations possessed of an almost three-dimensional physicality. Those rhythmic and melodic fragments came together with puzzle-piece logic, like an aural Rubik’s cube, but one that never stopped moving.

Voted Best Guitarist NYC by the Village Voice 2012, Brandon Seabrook 's work focuses on the intersections between improvisation and structure through fragmented and rapidly changing soundscapes, angular composition; and a massive dynamic range than can change in a joyous nanosecond. He has been summoned by the likes of Anthony Braxton, Nels Cline, The Flying Luttenbachers, Cécile Mclorin Salvant and Joey Arias for his idiosyncratic blend of spiked improvisation, commitment to immediacy and acute technical facility. He has been profiled in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone Magazine, Downbeat, NPR and The Wire.
