The Santa Monica Public Library hosts the talents of Nick Demopoulos, Danton Boller, Greg Gonzalez, and Matt Otto together as Exegesis in the Main Library Auditorium, 1343 Sixth Street (at Santa Monica Boulevard) Sunday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m.

The core elements of this ensemble consist of saxophone, guitar, bass, and drums. Although eclectic, Exegesis has a very identifiable group sound and is committed to maintaining a high level of musicianship and virtuosity during each performance.

During performances, Exegesis often makes use of samplers, tape loops, and other effects and effect processors giving the sonic illusion that there are more than four musicians performing.

Exegesis has performed at jazz festivals and with many talented musicians, including Cecil Taylor, Billy Higgins, Dave Binney, Mark Egan, and the Jazz Mandolin Project. They also have been heard in many clubs in New York and Los Angeles as well as in concerts sponsored by the American Jazz Symposium. This performance is sponsored in part by the Hellenic University Club of Southern California.

For more information, the public may contact the Santa Monica Public Library at (310) 458-8600.
