"...Improvised music with an adventurous edge that’s arranged and performed in a manner that can simultaneously please both hardcore jazz fans and those whose tastes run to other genres....Indivisible, a sprawling 22-track album [is] not only their boldest effort but also their finest musical statement." - NASHVILLE SCENE

CONCURRENCE is a beat-driven, improvisational music and research collective led by pianist/keyboardist Paul Horton (Brittany Howard, Alabama Shakes) and bassist/broadcaster Greg Bryant. Indivisible (available on La Reserve Records) represents the duo's most ambitious album yet: music that sheds light on an overlooked chapter in American history, one which irrevocably altered Black and Brown communities across the country.

With the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower established the Interstate System that today crisscrosses the United States. The system’s construction came with devastating effects. From New York to Chicago, Miami to Los Angeles, authorities routed the interstates through centers of cultural and economic activity, displacing families and decimating businesses. On Indivisible and in performance, Concurrence delivers this message of tragedy, remembrance, and resilience in a cohesive musical voice, built over two decades of collaboration with acclaimed drummers and percussionists Nasheet Waits, Tommy Crane, Marcus Finnie, Derrek Phillips, Aaron Smith, and Giovanni Rodriguez.

Concurrence first honed their musical voice in the early 2000's on Nashville, Tennessee's Jefferson Street - a northside hub for the city's Black community that boosted the early careers of Etta James, Jimi Hendrix, and Little Richard in the 1950s and 1960s just before Interstate 40 carved up six hundred and twenty homes as well as sixteen entire blocks of businesses in the neighborhood.

Since their debut, Concurrence has grown their partnership on bandstands across the United States and Canada touring independently while additionally opening for Cory Henry, Rebirth Brass Band, and Alabama Shakes. The ensemble includes: Paul Horton (piano / keyboards/ electronics); Greg Bryant (bass); and Aaron Smith (drums).
