Red Nova

Prepare your ears for Red Nova, Honolulu's fiery, "open-flow" free jazz trio that hurls musical safety nets straight out the window! Fronted by the fearlessly creative lineup of Peter Shaindlin soaring on trumpet and flugelhorn, Randy Wong anchoring the low end on acoustic bass, and Jay Jaskot driving the pulse on percussion, this power trio creates pure sonic magic live on stage. Playing completely unscripted, improvised sets without key signatures or guardrails, they turn every performance—including high-profile residencies at legendary venues like Blue Note Hawaii—into an adrenaline-fueled exploration of sound. Their critically acclaimed debut live album, Presence of Mind, recorded at Hawaii Public Radio's Atherton Studio, earned well-deserved Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nominations, proving that wild, cutting-edge experimentation can capture hearts and accolades alike. Ready to dive into the avant-garde deep end? You can stream their mind-bending projects right now on the Red Nova Bandcamp page!

    RED NOVA’s experimental jazz artistry captivates and engages the listener with unprecedented cascades of energy and resonance. Hawaii’s leading proponents of ‘New Music,’ The musicians of RED NOVA activate and enable this unique aesthetic, each spontaneously improvised performance eluding definition or replication. Its premiere album, Presence of Mind, is nominated in two categories for the upcoming 2024 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards.
     
    JAY JASKOT, Percussion
    Jay lays down RED NOVA’S rarified percussive foundation, invoking liberated, trancelike polyrhythms. Born and raised in Honolulu and active in the New York scene for many years, drummer Jay Jaskot sports remarkable versatility, shifting fluidly between any variety of percussive genres. His artistic influences span a staggering breadth of varied artists, from Tony Williams and Jack Dejohnette to Paul Motian, Alex Cline, John Bonham, Elvin Jones, Brian Blade, and Tony Allen. 
     
    RANDY WONG, Bass
    Innovative versatility informs the extraordinary aesthetic mapping of bassist Randy Wong. His resonant punctuation on the acoustic bass forms a pulsing bridge between RED NOVA’s melodic and percussive elements. Randy is a protégé, among others, of legendary bassist Cecil McBee, and pianist Michael Cain, with whom Randy studied at New England Conservatory. Randy has played with Brother Ah (Robert Northern) & George Clinton, Zsaccai Curtis, Michael Dease, The Waitiki 7, the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra, and others.  
     
    PETER SHAINDLIN, Trumpet, digital trumpet, hand percussion
    Peter studied improvisation in New York with bassist Ahmed Abdul Malik and Tommy Turrentine. Today he focuses on pushing the boundaries of free jazz, including pioneering explorations on the digital trumpet. In 2022 he formed the progressive trio RED NOVA, now featured on Forward Records.
