Album Description

"The TOaG Quartet: Live at the Airship" is an 84-minute double album of all original music, recorded live in front of an audience at the premiere Airship Laboratories recording studio. Charting a course of all original music that spans dirge like ballads, greasy grooves, sizzling up tempo swingers, and narrative interludes, this sonic adventure is going to take you places. Sparking the mind with truth, and moving the spirit with groove, this music is the product of our collective - which is one part working band and one part teaching ensemble.

As an assembly of instrumentalists, the TOaG Quartet is an Oakland-based musical organization inspired by the many lineages of improvisation and groove. Striving to be honest to who we are, where we have been, and where we hope to go, we pay homage to the work of our elders - who laid the groundwork upon which we stand - while aspiring to spark the mind with truth, and move the spirit with groove. Alongside the tireless service of community music educators, TOaG also works to support arts education by curating jazz clinics for young students, creating a positive space for musical exchange between professionals and pupils.
