Putting two creative artists together has been the modus operandi behind the Boiler House Jazz series. Both Forbes Graham and Noell Dorsey have been fiercely individual artists and sound explorers fearlessly pushing boundaries and restrictive classifications. In this duo performance they will continue their adventurous paths.
