Current Projects

Jason Palmer and Kevin Harris present The Upwards Mothers Project

French pianist and composer Cedric Hanriot will collaborate with American trumpeter Jason Palmer along with drummer Clarence Penn, saxaphonist Donny McCaslin and bassist Michael Janisch in a musical homage to the work of science fiction writer Dan Simmons. Hanriot and Palmer composed a suite of three movements using seven distinct melodies based on the famed "7 modes of limited transportation" created by influential French composer Olivier Messiaen to translate Simmon's stories into original and improvisational music. The project includes masterclasses and concerts in France and in the United States as well as in the U.K. and a live recording of the new compositions on the Whirlwind Recordings label.
