Medeski thrives on the un- predictable, a trait that has kept his work with MMW fresh and surprising for more than twenty years. With A Different Time, his first solo piano project, and the first release on Sony Classical’s newly-revived OKeh Records imprint, Medeski takes his sound in a completely unexpected direction – a meditative collection of Medeski’s own compositions and improvisations. Medeski says that sitting alone at a piano feels natural, returning him to his earliest experiences at the keyboard. “It was just about dealing with the instrument and the room and making the music that felt good. I just got lost in the sound, and that’s really the ultimate goal anytime you sit down to play,” he says. JOHN MEDESKI

Haas has recorded 21 al- bums and toured the world for two decades with Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.

The music is eleven unique compositions – a pastoral, melodic telling of the story of an imagined life. Led by keyboardist and composer Cameron Sharif, Chemical Clock is a blast of post-genre math jams, combining Ray Larsen’s electric trumpet, Sharif’s crunchy, eight-bit-like electric keys, Mark Hunter’s Hohner-bass sound and Evan Woodle’s impeccable, thoroughly sub-divided deep-snare pops and rim shots in aspects of jazz, prog-metal and EDM.

Born in Hous- ton, 1936, Berry graduated early from Garfield HS in 1949, studied music at Linfield College, Oregon, then transferred to the UW.

This concert promises to be a blissful finale to Earshot 25, as Seattle’s favorite guitar- ist – and one of the world’s – lends his boundless talents to a quartet that also in- cludes bassist and drummer . A refined, spiritual and uncompromising musical genius, tenor saxophon- ist Lloyd first came into prominence in the 1960s as the musical arranger for Chico Hamilton and later as a member of the Can- nonball Adderley Sextet. His first quartet introduced the young pianist Keith Jarrett, and his 1966 recording For- est Flower (Atlantic/Rhino) was one of the first jazz re- cords to sell 1 million cop- ies. Lloyd then surprisingly walked away from perform- ing. He’s returned in recent years with earnest and ad- venturous recordings for ECM – Athens Concert with Maria Farantouri (2010), Mirror (2010), (2005), (2004) and Lift Every Voice (2002).
