Sean Ali, Jonathan Moritz and Carlo Costa have been playing together since 2013 in a variety of projects. Since 2017 the three have been performing as a collective trio and over time have honed a distinctive band sound. One of the primary pursuits of the band is to inhabit and explore the acoustic space they perform in through free improvisation. The trio generally does not utilize any amplification and often performs in spaces that are not meant for concerts. By establishing a fragile yet palpable atmosphere the band activates the space and gradually draws the audience into its pool of sound.

“What throbs in Estuary is a life drive that plays by its codes with a sincerity that should not be taken as a disarming charm, but more as a state of nature in which it is good to settle down.” (Citizen Jazz review of Estuary)

“A very good new release. Spacious and spare improv, very sensitive and restrained, subtle tensions abounding. Good stuff.” (Brian Olewnick review of Estuary)

Lesley Mok is a drummer, composer, and improviser who continually finds herself among Brooklyn’s finest musicians and experimentalists. Interested in the ways social conditions shape our beings, Lesley’s work focuses on transposing, augmenting, and overacting humanness to explore ideas about normalcy, alienness, and privilege. Performing with artists such as Jen Shyu, Cory Smythe, and Tomeka Reid, Lesley has honed a unique voice as a drummer and percussionist by employing a dynamic range of timbres and orchestrations. Her most recent work, she smashed the enclosure, is a trans media work for film, music, and dance that tells stories of the dispossessed and the way wild and manic dreams unfold when we compromise our identities. Lesley received her undergraduate and master's degree at Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Performance. She has studied and been mentored by Vijay Iyer, Tyshawn Sorey, Henry Threadgill, Billy Hart, Danilo Perez, and Terri Lyne Carrington.
