Atlas Maior (vinyl release) (10:00, 8:00)

Genre-defiant duo Atlas Maior released their EP Hadal in 2023, which we called “music amalgamating American, Arabic, Moroccan, African, and Brazilian sources” in our contemporaneous review. The formerly digital release manifests in vinyl, with two extra songs and a pair of remixes. Based on American jazz harmonies and the Middle Eastern modal system maqam, AM songs sound like nothing else, adding free-range improvisation to melodies derived from the region. Bandleaders Joshua Thomson (alto sax) and Josh Peters (oud) will be joined by bassist Josh Flowers and drummer Gray Parsons for the Hadal relaunch. Shows at 8pm and 10pm. – Michael Toland
