Running From Bears is an adventurous Phoenix-based jazz sextet. Formed in 2007, the group is committed to the composition and performance of original works, along with the occasional reworking of popular songs. Each player/composer has a different compositional and improvisatory voice, yielding a forward-thinking and diverse group sound. Running From Bears is in its 10th year of a residency at The Lost Leaf, a Phoenix venue dedicated to the presentation of musical ensembles that compose their own works. The group can also be seen at other Phoenix area venues and festivals, such as The Nash, The Rhythm Room, the Tempe Festival of the Arts, and the Highland/ASU Jazz Festival.
