SUMMARY:MJI PRESENTS: LOVE CALL BIOGRAPHY
DESCRIPTION:This collaborative trio began during the height of the pandemic when bassist Ethan Philion and saxophonist Max Bessesen coped with their lack of performance opportunities by exploring adventurous new repertoire together in private sessions away from the stage. These informal meetings eventually coalesced into an exploration of the music of Ornette Coleman\, Paul Motian and original works by both musicians. When restrictions began to lift and the duo was able to reunite with their longtime collaborator Devin Drobka the unit began performing publicly around the Midwest. Love Call has a distinctive approach marked by a congenial sense of trust and a unique\, intuitive group language. They perform original compositions by all members of the group. \nTHE BAND: \nMax Bessesen – saxophone \nEthan Philion – bass \nDevin Drobka – drums \nSeating is limited. Get your tickets today! \nDOORS OPEN AT 7 PM \n

SUMMARY:MATT GOLD / DEVIN DROBKA QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:DOORS AT 7 \nMatt Gold is a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, and producer based in Chicago\, IL. His work pulls from diverse traditions of electric and acoustic music. Matt has performed in venues across six continents and has written music for film as well. His work has been praised for being “accessible\, yet healthily unconstrained by genre and sure of its own identity” (UK Vibe) and for “effortlessly embodying its own dialect—defined by varied\, spacious soundscapes\, innovative improvisational flourishes and rich harmony” (Downbeat Magazine). \nDevin Drobka is one of the most in-demand and creative musicians in the midwest for the past 15 years. Audiences around the world have been enthralled with his wide sonic palette and limitless rhythmic possibilities on the drums. A deep love of jazz\, metal\, folk\, hip-hop\, ambient\, idm\, and classical music has helped shaped Devin’s unique voice and vision on the drums both as a leader and as a sideman. His highly personal and creative drumming can be heard within the realm of jazz having performed with Greg Osby\, Jerry Bergonzi\, Dayna Stephens\, and Joe Lovano as well as indie- folk bands like Field Report and indie rappers R.A.P. Ferreira and Serengeti. Devin can be heard on over 50 albums of genre bending\, original music for which he is an advocate. Devin currently composes music for his newest group\, The Devin Drobka Trio\, which draws upon his love of contemporary classical music and minimalism and his multi horn group\, Bell Dance Songs\, which is a response to his love of Albert Ayler\, Paul Motian\, and Ornette Coleman. Devin’s music has been described as “sounding like nothing else in midwestern jazz” and “gorgeous\, innovative.”\n“Devin was a former student of mine at Berklee and one of my best. He was and remains\, a serious\, inquisitive\, committed student\, firmly grounded in the tradition\, but open to what might be possible as the tradition evolves and changes with each generation… not only is Devin a catalyst of that change… he is ” the next generation…” – Jon Hazilla\, Drum Professor\, Berklee College of Music
