Club D’Elf is a Boston-based collective that operates at the intersection of jazz, funk, Middle Eastern music, and free improvisation. Led by bassist Mike Rivard, the ensemble has built a cult following in the Northeast over two-plus decades by delivering shows that are impossible to fully anticipate and hard to forget afterward.
About the Performance
Club D’Elf shows are organized improvisation — there is a framework, but the group is genuinely responding to each other in real time, which means no two sets are the same. For Albany audiences who want jazz that challenges rather than comforts, this is the booking to catch. The Egg’s room is intimate enough that the interplay between musicians comes through clearly.
About The Egg
The Egg is in downtown Albany at Empire State Plaza. The venue handles jazz and improvised music well — the acoustics are clean and the room size keeps the audience close to the performance without overwhelming the dynamics of smaller ensemble playing.
