About this concert
The theme for the 2023 AJIRN conference is Roads, Bridges, and Intersections. Broadly speaking, this theme asks participants to think about infrastructure: the systems put in place by individuals, communities, presenters, governments, funding groups, and other organizations, that enable artists to communicate, collaborate, and develop their careers.
We hope that this theme will motivate discussions at the local, national, and global level over the practical challenges and possibilities associated with the current political and cultural economy. Importantly, this theme is intended to encourage critical perspectives that question established assumptions and attitudes, as well as words and music that reveal the transformative possibilities of a more inclusive network for jazz and improvised music – one that values and promotes the expressions of, and collaborations between, practitioners from diverse personal, social, and cultural backgrounds.

Tripataka Biography
Tripataka was formed in 2013 and comprises:
Adrian Sherriff – bass trombone, percussion, voice
Jonathan Dimond – electric bass guitars, percussion, voice
Adam King – drums, voice.
Tripataka performs original compositions by the band members and unique arrangements of jazz repertoire.
"There may be only three musicians on this recording, but their combined sound is as powerful and expressive as a great big band. Polymetric drum grooves full of deep funky soul; electric bass lines that float like butterflies and sting like bees; trombone melodies singing, soaring, and diving - Tripataka’s ensemble sound is astringent, tough, and uncompromising - yet the loose authenticity of folk tradition saturates even the most complex pieces. Composition and improvisation interweave seamlessly, and the total effect is exhilarating - watch the movie inside your head while you listen, because the cinematography is terrific.”
Warren Senders – musician, composer, educator - Boston, USA, 2017.
