Tony Barba
The newly-rebranded DIG Jazz series, a collaboration from Arts + Literature Laboratory, Madison Music Collective and WUD Performing Arts, returns in the livestream setting for a set by Blood Moon. The quartet came together to record music written by saxophonist Tony Barba, and also includes Madison bassist John Christensen, Milwaukee drummer Devin Drobka and Chicago guitarist Matt Gold. The resulting Blood Moon album mixes contemporary jazz with surf rock textures and even a bit of reggae. (Note: Blood Moon also plays an IRL show Thursday, Sept. 24, at the Garver Feed Mill Patio; check for ticket availability here.)
press release: With nods to many different styles, influences and textures, this regional all-star quartet explores Barba's progressive original jazz compositions.
The DIG JAZZ Series is presented by WUD Performing Arts, Madison Music Collective, and Arts+Literature Laboratory.
