The Arcanauts bring a universal yet unique perspective to the saxophone-bass-drums outfit. Drummer David Moore, bassist Greg Toro, and woodwind multi-instrumentalist Joe Albano have been performing with each other in various ensembles since the early 2000’s, and have developed a unique chemistry, only possible through the range of music the trio has played together. Listen to a set of the Arcanauts’music and you will hear threads of styles from throughout jazz history, woven together seamlessly with nods to free improvisation, American folkloric and popular music, and broader African diaspora musical language.
Joe Musacchia, Josiah Reibstein, and Malcolm Campbell are all from Lexington, MA and currently continue to reside in the Boston area. They have been playing together since middle school in various ensembles and musical occurrences, and have remained close friends throughout decades.
All three are active contributors to the Boston/Cambridge community, musically, artistically, and otherwise. Malcolm is a graduate of the Harvard/NEC double degree program and continues to pursue his academic research as a neuroscience post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University while performing in his free time. Joe is a senior software engineer by day, an on-call videographer and photographer, working with many luminaries in the Boston jazz scene and beyond – and is also a first-call drummer for many, many musical groups. Josiah is an active full-time free-lancer on multiple instruments, leading and playing as a sideman in a variety of ensembles. He also leads the Downtown Boston Brass, which performs several days a week in the Downtown Crossing area of Boston through the Business Improvement District.
The After Times formed during the COVID lockdown of 2020, when the three childhood friends decided to get together in their respective yards on a semi-regular basis to play music. What started as a loose session for stretching out on standards turned into a workshop for original music, and eventually, when restrictions began to open up again, a working band.
