Chris Bates "Low End Theories" Curation--Icehouse Tonight 8 pm
Each month, Icehouse lets an esteemed local jazz musician curate a series of weekly gigs. For Oct, it's 1st-call bassist Chris Bates. I'm not familiar with the bands tonight, but implicitly trust Bates' taste

@brittrobson Thanks Britt!

Well, it’s been snowing all day here in MN. Turns out most people need the lines on the road to be visible, otherwise they just color outside the lines. #fretlessplayer

@KBEMfm @TheTravisRyder Any chance these Leigh Kamman segments are archived?

[Jazz88 KBEM @KBEMfm]

Happy 82nd to vocalist-pianist #AndyBey. Today's also the 100th anniversary of the birth of late composer #ChicoOFarrill. Two tunes from each, plus @DoubleBates visits with #LeighKamman and the story of MN's first Black lawyer on #MN90. Join @TheTravisRyder from 1 to 3.

"Throughout Cognitive Dissonance, the trio's playing packs a visceral punch, and the performances exude a spontaneous energy."
