SUMMARY:Russ Johnson Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Russ Johnson – trumpet\nMark Feldman – violin\nEthan Philion – bass\nTimothy Daisy – percussion\n\nPerforming a book of new compositions for an upcoming recording following the critically acclaimed “Reveal\,” released in 2023 on Calligram Records.\n\n“From the opening intervals of “Skips\,” trumpeter and composer Russ Johnson’s “Reveal” makes good on the promise inherent in the album’s title. Slyly unveiling interconnected themes and infectious grooves\, the chord-less quartet — an unusual front-line of Johnson’s trumpet and Mark Feldman’s violin with drummer Timothy Daisy and bassist Ethan Philion — revels in a vast palette of sonic combinations and permutations. Along the way Johnson and his associates navigate an impressive range of material\, from the funky odd-meter groove that suddenly emerges in “Skips” to a masterful plunger elegy for Jamie Branch (“The Long Branch”) and a synthesis of the structured freedom of the AACM with lush post-Romantic harmonies (“The Slow Reveal”). “My entire career has been built on playing music in the cracks between ‘modern jazz’ and more ‘improvised’ musics\, says Johnson. “I do not draw a distinction between the two.””

DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the release Garrett Waite’s new record\, Shapeshifter\, which was recorded right here at bar centro in front of a live audience. Hear the full record played live in its entirety\, along with new and old original compositions.

Not quite rock\, not quite jazz\, his compositions harken back to the fusion explorations of Return to Forever as well as songwriters like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell with a forward-looking approach drawing on alternative and psychedelic rock acts like Radiohead and Khruangbin. A passion for world music infuses sounds from the Amazon\, Caribbean\, and Middle East. \nGarrett has been a strong presence in the Milwaukee music scene since 2022\, adding his versatile playing to original acts such as Match Stick\, Craig Baumann & the Story\, Mitch Shiner’s Latin Vibes\, and Day Tvvo in addition to his own original projects. He currently tours with Nashville-based singer-songwriter Phillip-Michael Scales.
