From the EMP web site, "Seattle’s annual Earshot Jazz Festival returns to EMP Museum with a performance from NEXT Collective. This supergroup, packed with stars from recent Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competitions, has reenergized the Harlem scene with their own interpretations of songs by contemporary artists Bon Iver, Drake, N.E.R.D., Little Dragon, and more. Gerald Clayton, one of the most exciting of current pianists, joins bassist Ben Williams, saxophonist Logan Richardson, guitarist Matthew Stevens, and drum monster Jamire Williams, a Downbeat Rising Star."
