For Trees & Birds is a NYC based improvising indie rock band founded in early 2014. FTaB performs frequently in the New York City area, and has toured in California and Florida. They are inspired by a wide range of artists such as Björk, Bill Frisell, Dirty Projectors, The second Miles Davis Quintet (1964-66), Radiohead, and the Bill Evans Trio (LaFaro & Motian). While the band’s sizable repertoire of original music (with a cover tossed in here or there) proves to be ecclectic, For Trees & Birds is a group well rooted in jazz and alternative rock. Members include Jasper Dutz on woodwinds, Lee Meadvin on guitar, Chris Gaskell on bass, and Connor Parks on drums.
