Tue Oct 25 THE FLAIL (Dan Blankinship, trumpet; Stephan Moutot, tenor saxophone; Brian Marsella, piano; Reid Taylor, bass; Matt Zebroski, drums) The Flail is a unique entity in today's world of jazz, even music as a whole. They offer a repertoire of original compositions and arrangements full of intensity and imagination. From the first moment one experiences The Flail, it is clear that this group is a band in every sense of the word. The kind of energy that such unity creates cannot be faked, nor can the power of it be denied. Upon hearing them, jazz legend Kenny Barron said, “I would pay good money to see these guys play at a jazz club." The Flail have performed at some of the premier events and venues in the world including Carnegie Hall, the Vienne Jazz Festival, the Marseille Jazz Festival, and Sweet Rhythm. 8:30PM Cover $8 www.theflail.com

JESSICA JONES QUARTET + FRIENDS The Jessica Jones Quartet is a four-person improvising ensemble which performs original experimental music. Their music derives from the jazz tradition of Charles Mingus, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and Ornette Coleman, using structured original compositions as a framework for freer improvisation. Combining two tenor saxophones with bass and drums, the group strives for a unique experimental sound while paying tribute to its traditional roots. The band has played clubs and festivals on the West coast and in New York City. They are currently working on a CD for New Artists Records, a much-anticipated studio recording to follow up on their live release Family, on the Nine Winds label. 8:30PM www.jessicajonesmusic.com
