Illegal Crowns unites the long-standing trio of guitarist Mary Halvorson, drummer Tomas Fujiwara and cornetist (and Coast director) Taylor Ho Bynum with French pianist Benoît Delbecq—their music together has been described as "rare and profound deep listening, complete trust and supporting one another through every unexpected turn…" Salt Peanuts. The Coast Jazz Orchestra will perform original music by Halvorson and Fujiwara, in addition to exploring repertory from revolutionary composers like Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Carla Bley and Sun Ra—artists whose music challenged the dominant reality and conjured sonic worlds of greater justice, beauty and compassion.
