SECOND ARROW is an all-star new quintet led by Bobby Previte, featuring musicians he has played with for decades, and musicians with whom he has recently connected. SECOND ARROW is Previte's return to the quintet form for the first time in 20 years.

Bobby Previte is a composer and performer whose work explores the nexus between notated and improvised music. One of the seminal figures of the 1980s New York Downtown scene, Previte is the recipient of the 2015 Greenfield Prize for music and was a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow in 2012. He has received multiple awards for composition from the NEA, NYFA, NYSCA, New Music USA, The Jerome Foundation, The New York State Music Fund, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and the American Music Center. His original compositions have been recorded and released on Sony, Elektra, Rykodisc, Palmetto, New World, Ropeadope, Tzadik, Thirsty Ear, Cantaloupe and Rarenoise.

"Mr. Previte's pieces are thoroughly, stubbornly, and distinctly his own . . . the music copies nothing." - The New York Times
