Dave Douglas & High Risk (Featuring Mark Guiliana, Jonathan Marson, and SHIGETO)

Roulette hosts the debut NYC performance from High Risk, an electronic-inspired quartet lead by trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas. Formed during a chance meeting at a Red Bull Music Academy event, High Risk combines modern jazz and electronic music, incorporating improvisational alchemy and technological exploration to create its unique sound. On bass and drums, scene leaders Jonathan Maron and Mark Guiliana seek new territory through groove and electronic manipulation. With the addition of producer and beatmaker SHIGETO, the group fuses melodic lyricism, textured electronics, deep bass lines and driving drums to create new sonic soundscapes. The group’s 2015 self-titled debut album garnered wide critical acclaim, hailed by Pitchfork as “ simultaneously chill and surprising, it’s the sound of a group discovering a valid language, and then proceeding to push the limits of that new aesthetic.”
