For summer 2019, UCCA invites emerging experimental jazz musicians to present original work in a variety of spaces in UCCA’s newly renovated building. On May 11, UCCA welcomes the Kevin Sun Trio for a free public afternoon performance in UCCA’s Lobby.

With Kevin Sun on tenor saxophone and clarinet, Walter Stinson on bass, and Matt Honor on drums, the trio began playing together in 2016 in Brooklyn. Their self-titled first release, released in February 2018 on Endectomorph Music, documents their musical explorations into novel improvisational architectures, which feature interlocking rhythmic frameworks, drum chants, negative harmony, and extended transformations of transcriptions from the jazz canon. The trio has performed at major jazz venues in New York City such as The Jazz Gallery and The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and will perform at UCCA as part their weeklong tour in Beijing in May 2019.
