Then, for the main event sample some 'organic cookin' with the Tuesday Night Band. Hammond B-3 organ lovers have been flocking to the AQ on Tuesday nights for over a decade to get a soulful dose of funky jazz. The Tuesday Night Band features "Downtown" Bill Brown (Hammond B-3), Billy Franze (guitar), and Kenny Horst (drums) + guests! Anything can happen - and frequently does. Check out these videos: "Soulful Drums" www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGnLyYYPspE and "Rock Candy": www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcoIeG7RkAM - then come on down and join the fun. It's nothing but a party every Tuesday night. There's no stopping the groove. |

Wednesday, January 21, Tefsa Quartet (7 pm), Dean Granros Trio (9 pm $5) |
|
An early set at 7 p.m. features "The Tesfa Quintet" with Dejen Tesfagiorgis on Saxophones, Adam Meckler on Trumpet, Jesse Mueller on Piano, Adam Tucker on Bass, and Jaky Nyberg on Drums. Guitarist Dean Granros is a musician of mind-bending skill. Whether he's composing, putting his own esoteric spin on a Monk tune or redefining a standard, his expansive musical vision, daunting precision and colorful use of harmonics make him a one-of-a-kind artist. “Granros blends the vocabulary of bebop, acid rock, and delta blues into a delightful and potent cocktail that may leave you shaken and stirred,” said Don Berryman at jazzpolice.com . From the New York band Curlew in the late 1970s to current projects like How Birds Work, Starry Eyed Lovelies and F*K*G, Dean is one of those guys who the best musicians love to work with, and he inspires each one of them. Check out this video clip of the Dean Granros Trio.

Epstein keeps busy with other trios, including Red Planet and Zizik, and recently ended a 12-year run at the Hotel Sofitel as a member of the Phil Aaron Trio. Chris Bates, an AQ regular in How Birds Work, also collaborates with Epstein and Dean Magraw on Red Planet. Guitarist Chris Olson teaches music theory, ear training, improvisation, guitar, ensembles, and a summer jazz workshop at McNally Smith College of Music in Saint Paul, MN. |
