Salience Network is a modern jazz ensemble led by drummer/composer Kevin Romain. Dramatic, spontaneous creation and razor-sharp precision come together on stage with Romain's longtime collaborators Jeff Gammon bass, John Nicholson tenor and soprano saxophones, and Feven Kidane trumpet. 

Through dense polyrhythms and snaking melodies, they explore Romain's hyperfixations on the neuroscience of emotion, circadian biology, coffee extraction theory, cool animals, and anti-colonial resistance. The Salience Network's debut album, recorded to tape at Vancouver's Afterlife Studios and released in November 2023 on the Infidels Jazz label, is a somber document punctuated by moments of humour and hope.
