SUMMARY:Jenny Scheinman & Allison Miller’s PARLOUR GAME
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Scheinman & Allison Miller’s PARLOUR GAME celebrates the popular roots of jazz. It honors the groove\, the conversation\, the game\, and the women that made jazz a social music. It features four musicians that have been at the forefront of American music for nearly 20 years bending genres\, creating new ways of playing\, mixing it up. Now they get to groove. \nParlour Game was born on tour when Carmen Staaf and Tony Scherr were subbing for the piano and bass player in Allison Miller’s ‘Boom Tic Boom’. There was an immediate chemistry. “Even the edgiest material swung\,” says Miller\, “and we realized that we had found something really special. It felt so good!” \nScheinman and Miller met in Brooklyn in the early 2000’s. Scheinman had come from a rural roots background and was immersed in the downtown NYC music scene. Miller had come from DC swing and had a steady gig with Dr Lonnie Smith. Their insatiable curiosity and general gregariousness brought them into a variety of different genres. Scheinman formed a lifelong connection with Bill Frisell and wrote and released nine albums featuring some of the most innovative jazz musicians of our time such as Jason Moran\, Ron Miles and Nels Cline. She also dove headfirst into the roots world\, touring with a number of iconic American artists such as Lucinda Williams\, Rodney Crowell\, Robbie Fulks\, and Bruce Cockburn. Miller jumped on the Toshi Reagon bandwagon and joined Natalie Merchant’s band. She taught at the New School and worked with Ben Allison\, Rene Rosnes\, Brandi Carlile and Ani Difranco. She became the special guest drummer on Late Night With Seth Meyers. \nStaaf and Scherr are also versed in numerous American genres\, and share a deep respect for roots music. Staaf has worked closely with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter\, and Scherr has played extensively with Bill Frisell\, Sex Mob and Maria Schneider. Scherr once described Staaf as “totally unpredictable\, and totally reliable.” Seated quietly at her piano\, Staaf opens up a magnificent world of harmony while Scherr follows from below\, grounding her most outrageous revelations. \n“I have often played music that is in some way a reaction to jazz\,” says Scheinman. “In this group I just want to play a great melody\, feel the groove\, and let the audience in. So much can happen at a show when everyone is in it together.” \nThe name of the band references parlor music\, parlor games\, and the great organizers whose movements were born in the parlor. Imagine the parties they had! And yes\, it is about time that one of our newest super-groups features three women. \nJenny Scheinman – violin\nCarmen Staaf – piano\nTony Scherr – bass\nAllison Miller – drums

SUMMARY:Bob Sweet Quartet
DESCRIPTION:This is a powerful quartet featuring Bob Sweet on drums\, Tad Weed on piano\, Andrew Bishop on saxophones\,flute\, and clarinet\,  and Kurt Krahnke on bass. Expect high energy\, unpredictable improvisation\, and a diverse and eclectic mix of compositions.\n\nAndrew Bishop is a formidable multi-instrumentalist\, as well as an educator and scholar.

Andrew is an associate professor of jazz and contemporary improvisation at the University of Michigan.\n\nKurt Krahnke has been one of the most in-demand bassists in the State of Michigan–-and beyond-–for decades. After getting a solid foundation at Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music\, he toured the east coast with Ron Levy for two years and then went on play with Wendell Harrison\, Phil Lasley\, Jimmy Giuffre\, Joe Henderson\, Sonny Fortune\, Pinetop Perkins\, Russell Green\, and Leon Thomas. He is\, for very good reason\, one of the busiest bassists around.\n\nBob Sweet has been on the Detroit and Southeast Michigan scene since the seventies\, playing in a variety of soul\, pop\, blues\, and jazz ensembles. He was part of Roy Brooks’ Aboriginal Percussion Choir and played for a number of years with Detroit favorites the Sun Messengers\, as did Kurt Kranke. His connections with the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock\, New York\, have placed him in performance and workshop situations with Karl Berger\, the Art Ensemble of Chicago\, Jack DeJohnette\, Kirk Knufke\, Ed Blackwell\, and many other leading improvisers from around the world\n\nTad Weed has played with Charles Lloyd\, Carmen McRae\,  Woody Herman\, Mundell Lowe\, John Patitucci\, Vinny Golia\, Richie Cole\, Teddy Edwards\, and Dick Berk. He’s currently the associate professor of jazz piano at the University of Toledo. Leonard Feather\, in his Encyclopedia of Jazz\, said that Tad “displays a very rare ability to cross over from dashing bop lines to rich impressions\, he has all of the bases covered from funky blues to the border of the avant-garde.”\n[Photo credit\, Andre Thomas] \n
