New York City based guitarist Max Kutner is coming to Texas for a short tour, bringing along his particular guitar-tuba-drums trio, Partial Custody, to present their heterogeneous amalgamation of rock music ideas. Guitar wizard Jonathan Horne is coming from Austin to join the very spiritual, robust, and virtuosic, North Texas contemporary jazz unit Trio Glossia. The evening promises to be a wide-scope music feast in the hands of these seven world-class musicians.

Partial Custody has an unusual instrumentation – guitar, tuba, and drums – and their sound combines elements of progressive rock, contemporary classical music, funk, metal, noise, and jazz into an intriguing and seamlessly blend of rigorously composed passages with sections of unbridled improvisation. Their album is a panorama of shifting moods, themes, and textures, with loads of fiery playing from all three musicians. Kutner first visited Texas in 2013 as a member of the Grandmothers of Invention, playing the music of Frank Zappa, then went on to tour Europe with the 21^st century edition of Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band. He’s also performed with Oingo Boingo former members and avant-guitar godfather Henry Kaiser. He calls tubist Ben Stapp and drummer James Paul Nadien “two of the greatest musical minds I’ve encountered since moving to New York.” Stapp has performed with notable creative musicians including William Parker, Joe Morris, Stephen Haynes, Satoishi Takeishi, Tony Malaby, and Nate Wooley.

Trio Glossia consists of Matthew Frerck on stand up bass, Joshua Miller on drums, percussion, and tenor saxophone, and Stefan Gonzalez on vibraphone and drums. All three musicians share a mutual love of all things pertaining to the history and development of free jazz and the avant garde.  Trio Glossia covers a lot of ground from heart wrenching ballads to angular swing to textural meditations, with a healthy emphasis on the harmolodic history of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex.

Jonathan Horne has played several times at The Wild Detectives, among them, as a guest of Atlas Maior, with Thor & Friends, opening for Joe McPhee, and a splendid duo with Sandy Ewen. This list is just a very short sample of the music terrain in which Horne moves, who lately have spending most of his time between Austin playing in a wide array of different projects, and Norway, as part of one of the current ensembles of Ingebrigt Haker Flaten.
