Jones, Caroline Shaw, Du Yun, I’m With Her, Roomful of Teeth, and the National Symphony Orchestra. As far as jazz is concerned, the showcase has made room for a number of improvising musicians, including singer Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones (Mar. 25), guitarist Mary Halvorson (with saxophonist María Grand on Mar. 27 and with her own Code Girl ensemble on Mar. 28), Mexican vocalist Magos Herrera (with the Brooklyn Rider string quartet on Apr. 7), composer Henry Threadgill (with his Double Up ensemble on Apr. 5), pianist Vijay Iyer (with his sextet on Apr. 6), saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell (Mar. 28), and drummer Tyshawn Sorey (Mar. 29).
