Brooklyn based trumpeter and composer Allison Philips brings her quartet to Baltimore for the first time in support of Make It Better, a powerful new album shaped by resilience, memory, and creative renewal. Written during the pandemic and brought to life with longtime collaborators Neta Raanan (tenor sax), Isaac Levien (bass), and Connor Parks (drums), the music blends lyrical depth with dynamic improvisation. With roots in jazz and a spirit of reflection, the group delivers emotionally charged performances that honor the past while looking forward.
