Marty Ehrlich, woodwind performance
Saxophonist, clarinetist, and flutist Marty Ehrlich is celebrating over 40 years in the nexus of creative music centered in New York City. Since coming to New York in 1978, he has made thirty recordings of his compositions written for his Dark Woods Ensemble, Traveler's Tales Quartet, Trio Exaltation, The Rites Quartet, Philosophy of a Groove, and the Marty Ehrlich Large Ensemble. He has sustained three collective groups, C/D/E with Andrew Cyrille and Mark Dresser, Relativity with Peter Erskine and Michael Formanek, and the Ray Anderson/Marty Ehrlich Quartet. His compositions are represented on the Enja, New World, Muse, OmniTone, Palmetto, Tzadik, and Clean Feed labels.
As a woodwind multi-instrumentalist passionate about improvisation and interpretation, Ehrlich has performed and recorded with a who’s who of contemporary composers.
Debuting in 2015, "Me, Myself and Eye" is a popular event that brings together music and visual art communities. Through solo improvisational performances influenced by the current 440 Gallery art installations, this live, monthly series helps bring unique perspectives to the space.
