Thank you CMA!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tim Berne is a composer, saxophonist and educator specializing in improvised music. His music is a potent blend of new voices and new ideas, with compositions that balance compositional rigor with fluid group improvisation. Hypnotic rhythms and long, seductive melodies collide with jagged dissonances and surprising textural shifts that result in a lush, organic blend of saxophones and clarinets, layered with guitar and accordion and an ever-changing tapestry of percussion. Berne incorporates freedom and discipline, consonance and discord, and past, present and future.<\/p>\n<p>He will lead the Tim Berne 4 at Pet Shop in Jersey City on Tuesday, May 26 starting at 8:00pm. Tickets can be purchased using <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeffy.com\/en-US\/ticketing\/tim-berne--4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a><\/strong>.
