SUMMARY:Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:This is the 20th anniversary for the Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra\, which initially started as a rehearsal band for Gwinnell to hear his compositions and arrangements played. With encouragement from friends/musicians and an offer of a weekly gig at the Music Menu Cafe in Detroit’s Greektown. Gwinnell and his musicians made a commitment to present high quality big band jazz music. After the Menu\, the band moved to the Cadieux Cafe on the east side of Detroit where gigs were routinely accented with the playing of Detroit trumpet legend Marcus Belgrave\, who eventually joined the SGJO for their first record in 2002\, “Basement Vibes.” \nDuring this time the band also began to branch out. Gigs with the late great tenor player Donald Walden\, a feature performance in Toronto at the International Association of Jazz Educators with sax virtuoso Dave Liebman\, and WDET radio dates highlight this period. \nNext\, the band began its exciting Wednesday gigs at the then brand new Cliff Bells. With the addition of some more skilled players\, the SGJO reached a higher artistic plateau. Working together every week\, the band gelled and impressed new audiences of jazz fans\, musicians\, and critics. SGJO then released a CD “Brush Fire” (2010 WSG Music) which won two Detroit Music Awards and also did performances with Aria Hendricks and Dominic Faranacci\, as well as performances at the Detroit Jazz Festival and other festivals which gave the SGJO more notoriety. \nIn 2009\, the SGJO was chosen to be part of a big project proposed by the  Detroit Jazz Festival. The artist-in-residence\, the acclaimed bassist/composer John Clayton\, was commissioned to write a suite based on Detroit jazz legends. The SGJO would play a series of summer concerts\, with the finale being a performance to close that year’s festival. The suite paired the Clayton Brothers Quintet with the SGJO in a 55 minute concerto grosso. All of the musicians performed greatly\, receiving a 5 minute standing ovation. \nSome of the frequent musicians involved with the Cliff Bells SGJO group are: Keith Kaminski\, James Hughes\, Steve Wood\, Carl Cafagna\, and Mark Berger on saxes. Dave Jensen\, Terry Kimura\, Tony Buccilli\, and Stefan Stolarchuk on trombone. Trumpets are Bob Jensen\, Paul Finkbeiner\, John Douglas\, and Justin Walter. Jordan Schug plays bass and Scott Kretzer plays the drums. \nThe most recent project has been a recording of the music of Mulgrew Miller (Detroit Music Factory label). \nTheTroy Athens HS Band  will open. \nhttps://www.wscottjazz.com/orchestra-groups/

SUMMARY:beta collective
DESCRIPTION::beta collective:​\nA powerhouse group of the Midwest’s top improvisers\, Dan Bruce’s :beta collective is a modern jazz ensemble that performs original compositions and highly personalized arrangements of jazz standards. The members’ ​unique musical identities combine to form a powerful and unmistakable group sound. The ensemble is known for its compositional breadth and interactive and highly energetic performances.\nThe new album\, Earthshine\, garnered a four star review from All About Jazz. Critic Troy Dostert writes\, “…a generous\, accessible sound with an exploratory edge\, Bruce brings a finely-polished technique that is at the same time subtly discontent\, searching for new expressions and willing to take some chances along the way.” \n-Dan Bruce- \nBy embracing the influence of his heroes from the jazz tradition and retaining his own musical personality\, guitarist Dan Bruce has developed a unique and impressive musical voice. A recent transplant to Ohio after spending a decade as an important member of Chicago’s vibrant jazz scene\, he is active throughout the United States as a performer\, recording artist\, composer and educator. \nBruce’s first album\, A Single Thread\, received praise from both fans and critics. Martin Gladu of allaboutjazz.com wrote\, “A Single Thread combines his learned guitar work\, which is at times reminiscent of Ben Monder\, with substantive yet airy\, contemporary sounding compositions”\, and Chuck Vecoli of jazzreview.com called it “A brilliant first effort”. Bruce’s much-anticipated second album\, Earthshine\, came out this October on the Ears and Eyes label. He has performed on more than twenty-five albums as a sideman\, and he has worked with a number of eminent musicians including Seamus Blake\, Ali Jackson\, Dan Wall\, Lynn Seaton\, Marvin Stamm\, The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra\, Daniel Lippel\, and Rose Colella. \nBruce’s groups have been featured in The Chi-Town Jazz Festival\, The Chicago Composers Collective series at the Green Mill\, The Chicago Cultural Center Chamber Music Series\, The Jazz Institute of Chicago NextGen Jazz Series\, South by Southwest\, the Toledo Jazz Festival\, The Akron Jazz Festival\, The Ohio City Summer Festival and a special live radio broadcast on WDCB FM Chicago. \n“…a skilled\, seasoned player\, one capable of filling the space left by an accompanying harmonic instrument with aplomb and finesse.”\n-Martin Gladu\, allaboutjazz.com \n“Daniel Bruce is without a doubt one of the finest of today’s young jazz guitarists. He plays with great creativity\, soul and intelligence.”\n-William Piburn\, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine \nwww.danbrucemusic.com
