Axiomatic Heresy, Jonathan Kay Cordless Quartet, free improvisation/jazz.

Axiomatic Heresy is a cordless quartet led by saxophonist Jonathan Kay, reworking the music of the free jazz tradition through a diagrammatic approach to (free) improvisation/jazz.

Axiomatic Heresy is a cordless quartet led by saxophonist Jonathan Kay, rooted in a diagrammatic approach to reworking traditional materials through contemporary free improvisation and jazz. Drawing on the spiritual and avant-garde lineages of Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, John/Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Lyons, Julius Hemphill, and Ornette Coleman, the project treats these repertoires as living frameworks for collective exploration rather than fixed texts. The core quartet features Jonathan Kay (saxophones), Nick Fraser (drums), and Alex Fournier (bass), with rotating guest saxophonists Kayla Milmine, Andrew Kay, and Reagan Mitchell, creating an open, volatile sound-world where structure and rupture continually reconfigure one another.
