King Llama presents us with their new fusion jazz album, fata implexis

Right out of the starting gate, it’s apparent that the eagerly awaited new King Llama album, fata implexis (translating to “fate intertwined”), is something special, commanding and category-elastic.

Come welcome King Llama’s Ryan T. Bailey and drummer Luis Briones to our show!
