TIN/BAG
TIN/BAG, the bi-coastal duo of California trumpeter KRIS TINER and New York guitarist MIKE BAGGETTA, deals with a music that is spare and ethereal, exploring the spaces between jazz, traditional musics, and contemporary composition. Since 2004 Tiner and Baggetta have toured extensively, re-investigating the roles and possibilities of their instruments through their original music alongside inventive renderings of works by Bob Dylan, Thelonious Monk, Sun Ra, Carla Bley and Anthony Braxton.
Their 2005 debut CD There, Just As You Look For It on pfMENTUM Records was met with enthusiastic reviews and continues to receive international airplay. Tin/Bag’s second CD And Begin Again, released in 2007 on Evander Music, featured several new compositions along with two extended works for quartet with virtuoso L.A. clarinetist Brian Walsh and the acclaimed NYC jazz percussionist Harris Eisenstadt. In 2010, supported by a Subito grant from the American Composers Forum, Tin/Bag recorded a new set of original compositions for their latest album Bridges released in 2011 on the MabnotesMusic Label.

Jim Scully 4-tet
Lyric Inspiration Project
The Lyric Inspiration Project is a new series of works for The Jim Scully 4-tet, a new jazz group which he formed in the summer of 2011 with Kris Tiner (trumpet/flugelhorn); Glen Fong (basses) and Canaan McDuffie (drums/percussion).
This project finds a way to fuse a love for contemporary pop/rock/folk singer-songwriters and a love of instrumental jazz. Ever since Scully began playing guitar, pop music was a big part of his musical landscape. While his tastes have evolved and been refined over time, he is very strongly drawn to the music of a new generation of songwriters who sing about a wide range of emotions - but do so with passion, eloquence, strength, power and frustration. The lyrics of these artists are the inspiration for this music.
This project is funded in part with a Quick Advancement Grant from the American Composers Forum.
