John Hébert

Pi Recordings traces Hébert from New Orleans and William Paterson University into New York ensemble work with Andrew Hill, Lee Konitz, Paul Bley, Mary Halvorson, Tomasz Stańko, and others. The label biography distinguishes those collaborations from his later growth as a bandleader.[1]

His leader catalog begins with Byzantine Monkey, continues through the equal-voiced trio Spiritual Lover and Floodstage, and expands into the Rambling Confessions quartet with voice, piano, and drums. RogueArt provides a parallel view of his ensemble and composition work.[1][2][3]
