Based in Brooklyn, NY, Caleb is a leader and core member of several bands, including Ember, Orrin Evans & The Captain Black Big Band (2x GRAMMY Nominated), Walking Distance, and the Fat Cat Big Band.His third album as a leader, HEATMAP received widespread critical acclaim, with All About Jazz calling him “one of the more interesting alto saxophonists to emerge since 2000,” and Jazzwise describing it as “exhilarating post-Ornette free-jazzmaking.” DownBeat Magazine said HEATMAP “radiates with brilliance,” and Musica Jazz (Italy) described it as “a masterpiece.”With Sean Conly-Bass • Michael Sarin-DrumsThe Pointless Forest presents Harry Nilsson’s THE POINT

The Point! is a tribute of our admiration to the film, the music, and the man himself: Harry Nilsson. To us, The Point! represents the most concentrated examples of what makes Nilsson Nilsson as well as the pinnacle of George Tipton’s inspired and original arrangements of Nilsson’s songs. The Pointless Forest will perform a live version of their original arrangements and edit of the movie, bring a date or two!
