@billharris is a prominent chicago-based percussionist, improviser, audio engineer, and curator working in areas of improvisation, jazz, noise, rock, and bluegrass. Presented both nationally and internationally, Bill's work focuses on a number of dedicated groups, ad hoc groups, and solo work, with over three decades of studying, practicing, and creating music.

The music of @thesethingshappen lives in the spaces between chicago and amsterdam, composition and improvisation, sobriety and wild abandon, playfulness and innocence. Starting with classic pieces and originals from the dutch and american jazz traditions, the group will digress, covering new ground: discover and ignore, grab and release, creating and letting go. 

While the chicago musician comes to jazz naturally, the dutch approach to this music has often that been of respectful game and play. With These Things Happen this contrast is one of sincere joy. The compositions of Misha Mengelberg stand next to those of Thelonious Monk, Herbie Nichols and originals. 

These Things Happen’s new long-playing disc 'A Gentle Reminder' comes out in March 2026 on the Corbett vs. Dempsey label. Their previous release was in 2022, from Astral Spirits Records.

@ishmaelali brings a group to celebrate his debut solo album, Burn the Plastic, Sell the Copper. The record features a remarkable crew of distinguished Chicagoans in various configurations in addition to solo performances interspersed throughout. The record on the whole highlights a wide array of Ali's unique language and propensity for collaboration, taking the listener through an eclectic but cohesive mix of music. Raw solo cello explorations, intimate duo improvisations, interactive electronics, rhythmic grooves, and singable (and sung!) melodies populate the record like characters whose voices interact, whose stories unfold over time. 

This iteration of the band will feature Ishmael Ali (cello, electronics, vox), Brianna Tong (vox), and Bill Harris (drum set), and a special guest.
