press release: BlueStem Jazz presents Brennan Connors & Stray Passage at Mother Fool's Coffeehouse.
The ensemble embraces free and structured improvisation, original compositions, and sound based experiments. The breadth of the group's palate ranges from focused minimalism to fiery high energy music, all while maintaining a sense of narrative organization and compelling ensemble interplay throughout performances. The environment of Mother Fools Coffeehouse allows the band to play with a great sense of intimacy and rapport not only within the trio itself but also in relation to the audience.
Brennan Connors on saxophones. Brian Grimm on contra-cello, electric bass, and electronics. Geoff Brady on drums and percussion and for this show, a special set on theremin!
