| | Convergence ft. Rico Jones & Max LightFriday, Jan. 7 - 9:30pm Musical generations coexist at once; creative energy, exploration, sharing, and learning flow in every direction. A few years ago, Rico absorbed music from the others, but now he shares his own unique energy which reflects back in unexpected ways. Max, from Washington, DC, is quickly making waves of his own. Eric, Mark, and Paul share a deep rhythmic intuition, and Gregâs unique mastery is in almost multigenerational in itself. Tonightâs mixtape can be heard from any point to make a beautiful story in sound! Greg Gisbert (trumpet), Rico Jones (saxophone), Max Light (guitar), Mark Patterson (trombone), John Gunther (saxophone), Eric Gunnison (piano), Mark Simon (bass), Paul Romaine (drums) |

| | Dazzled Mixtape: Cross-Country MixtapeSaturday, Jan. 8 - 9:30pm A collection of favorite friends, coast-to-coast edition. Saraâs beautiful New York sound (2018 Grammy-nominee) is carried by Anishaâs Colorado lyricism to meet Jacquelynâs western textures. Gabe and Mark find melodicism on the uptown express, while Colin beams freely among various geographic sonorities. The rhythm section players are well-known to us from their formative years at CCJAâs Jazz in the Sangres Jazz Arts Camp, where both Mark and Anisha have taught. Jacquelyn has made her way in LA, Gabe studies at Juilliard Jazz. Colin is fresh off recent touring with Pat Metheny. Mark and Sara are longtime colleagues in the New York Pops Orchestra, whose founder Skitch Henderson recruited Sara for one of her earliest recordings (also with guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli).
