An early set at 7 p.m. features an open jam session lead by Dejen Tesfagiorgis on Saxophones with Adam Meckler on Trumpet, Jesse Mueller on Piano, Adam Tucker on Bass, and Jaky Nyberg on Drums and friends. Dejen Tesfagiorgis leads these weekly jam sessions, bring your axe and sit it! 
Framework features drummer Jay Epstein, guitarist Chris Olson and bassist Chris Bates. You can expect a lot of creative interplay as this trio introduces original works and tackles covers of John Scofield, Dave Holland, and Chick Corea. 
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. Video clips:
