B-RAMP

Friday, March 4 - 6:30pm

Improvisatory music is about shared experience, collective understanding and an inexorable spirit of collaboration. B-RAMP has a plethora of shared experience. The group is based on musical and personal relationships that go back more than four decades. It is that kind of experience that allows musicians to be “in each others heads” as they improvise. Even though they are from different parts of the country (Jeff and Dave are from LA, Paul and Patrick are from Denver, and Ted is from New York), they have a wealth of shared musical experience. They will perform music from their upcoming CD – a mixture of original material and interpretations of jazz standards.

Jeff Benedict (saxophone), Paul Romaine (drums), Dave Askren (guitar), Patrick McDevitt (bass), Ted Piltzecker (vibes)
