5th & B is a musical collective that explores intersections between diverse musical traditions. Over the past 40 years, the members of 5th & B have studied and performed jazz, blues, klezmer, bluegrass, classical, rock, African, Central Asian, and American folk idioms. In 5th & B they call upon these musical cultures to inform both fully composed and completely improvised music.
