The Ralph Alessi Baida Quartet is a dynamic ensemble described by The New York Times as “unstoppably inventive.” The band has released three albums, 2 of which are on the ECM label, the latest being Quiver. This past summer the band debuted new works at a performance at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. They are planning on a new record in the near future.
Ralph Alessi and This Against That
Ralph Alessi & This Against That is a group that organically tows the line between jazz, pop and contemporary classical music. The band has toured Europe and the United States since 2004 playing venues such as The Earshot Festival in Seattle, RedCat Theatre in Los Angeles, Bimhuis in Amsterdam and The New Morning in Paris. Recently they released their 3rd album, Imaginary Friends which the London Guardian called “Alessi’s best album yet for ECM.”
