Occasionally punctuating high-energy free jazz and exploratory improvisations with Arabic maqams and Hindustani ragas, the JoAnne Pow!ers Trio rose from the ashes of Madison, Wisconsin's creative music scene. Bringing the irreverant spontineity of percussionist Paul Baker together with Jennifer Pendur's inscrutable bass and the dulcet yet harrowing tones of saxophone terrorist JoAnne Pow!ers, the trio plays spontaneous compositions and collective improvisations characterized by densely intricate communication and the cathartic energy of early sixties fire music.
