Seesaw Ensemble isn't a band, it stays true to its name by absorbing different players at different times. That looseness keeps them from getting too comfortable with each other, demanding spontaneity.



Philly-sax guru Elliot Levin joined them for a couple shows and played on their excellent album. He contributes poetry as well.



Free jazz can be really good or horrendously bad. Luckily, these guys don't make just make squawks and noise, they spontaneously write and perform compositions. Preston Swirnoff displayed a lot of patience to not start playing right away, and just listen for the first few minutes.





After the acoustic set, they rearranged for an electric one.







Kudos to the Soda Bar for bringing in something different, like Seesaw Ensemble and MutantSpaceBoy.
