Love Call

Join Love Call as they bring their tour at An die Musik Live for an evening of free improvistion and compositions by the group members!

Ethan Philion, bass
Max Bessesen, alto saxophone
Devin Drobka, drum set

Love Call is a collaborative trio formed during the height of the pandemic when Philion and Bessesen coped with their lack of performance opportunities by exploring adventurous new repertoire together in private sessions away from the stage. These informal meetings eventually coalesced into an exploration of free improvisation and abstract composition. The duo reunited with longtime-collaborator Devin Drobka when restrictions were lifted and the unit began to collaborate on new music while performing this material publicly around the country. Love Call performs several times a year ever since 2021 even though the group members live in different cities (New York, Chicago, Milwaukee). The trio has a distinctive musical approach marked by a congenial sense of trust and a unique, intuitive group language. Their performances feature free improvisation and compositions by each member of the group.
