In a trio formation with some of the core rhythm section players from the record, Max Jaffe, Gavin Gamboa, and Logan Kane reimagine the music from Jaffe's 2025 release You Want That Too!

Max Jaffe is a drummer, producer, composer, and technologist based in Los Angeles, CA. His work expands the possibilities of composition and collaboration through the drum set.

In 2025, Jaffe released "You Want That Too!" on Colorfield Records. Eclectic and tuneful, the album received praise from Pitchfork and is being followed with a series of special live performances in varying formations.

Max is a founding member of experimental rock collective JOBS, Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones, and several others. He has toured, performed, and recorded with many diverse artists including Wild Up, Steph Richards, Nels Cline, Ava Mendoza, Cass McCombs, DARKSIDE, Normal Love, Jeff Parker, Vinny Golia, Peter Evans, and many others.

Burden of Dreams is the latest band from Oakland composer and multi-instrumentalist, Nathan Clevenger. Along with Clevenger on electric bass, the ensemble features Brett Carson (Hammond organ), Mark Pascucci-Clifford (vibraphone), and Jason Levis (drums). The band's music is dark and dense, drawing from 20th Century classical, doom rock, and jazz.
