Sojoy

  • The Dance Hall 7 Walker Street Kittery, ME, 03904 United States (map)

This event was rescheduled from 8/10

Sojoy is a chord-less jazz septet that has been performing the music of Jonny Peiffer (drummer, composer, band leader) since 2014. 'Sojoy' is a neologism that characterizes both the automatic response to all the good going on all the time, and an act of defiance and perseverance in the face of the rest.

"[R]elying on a pliable five-horn frontline to give them a varied range of expression, they cram a melange of styles into a coherent whole, with the players toggling effortlessly between the composed and the improvised worlds."

- Felipe Freitas, Jazz Trail

"Drums and bass are matched with five different wind instruments, and Sojoy takes advantage of every melodic and harmonic opportunity this affords, giving each melody textural depth, and wrapping them up in warm harmonies."

- Dave Sumner, The Best Jazz on Bandcamp

Eric Klaxton - soprano & tenor sax

Russ Grazier - alto sax
