They will give homage to improvisers who carried that spirit through music. They have a long history of performing together, and separately with numerous artist and creative situations.

Moon! Moon! is the artistic collaboration of Maya Keren (piano, Philadelphia) and Akiva Jacobs (bass, Boston.) Some things they like to do: hang out, go to Wawa, improvise together, swim, play each other’s compositions, wear warm headbands, prepare their instruments and each other’s instruments and each other, Charlie Parker! Kris Davis!, say “Moon! Moon!” when they see the moon, play Double Bill by Chris Weisman, and try to get inside each other’s sounds by playing long tones.
