Berlin Jazz Festival

Mostly Other People Do the Killing will be performing on Sunday, November 2 at the Berlin Jazz Festival.  We will be performing as a 7-piece and sharing the bill with two projects led by pianist Jason Moran.  See you there!

New album "Blue"

Mostly Other People Do the Killing will be releasing their next album, "Blue" on October 14!
We will be performing live on October 15 at Shapeshifter in Brooklyn with the 7-piece version of the band, and again November 9 at the Cornelia St Cafe with the quartet.  We will be performing new compositions by Moppa at both gigs.  Even though we're celebrating the release of "Blue", we won't be playing any of the music from that album live, for hopefully obvious reasons.
See you there!
