Arts + Literature Laboratory and Wisconsin Union Theater are putting together an impressive week-plus of events for the 2022 Madison Jazz Festival. It kicks off June 10 with Strollin' Capitol East, featuring free music at ALL, Dark Horse ArtBar, High Noon Saloon and Robinia Courtyard, at various times from 5-11:30 p.m. Of special note is the commemoration of Duke Ellington's residency at UW-Madison, featuring a presentation of rare Ellington music by Howard Landsman on June 11 (1:30 p.m., Sequoya Library, with live music also provided by Dave Stoler) and two concerts and a panel discussion on June 17 (5:30-10 p.m., Hamel Music Center). Also on the schedule: a trio led by Thaddeus Tukes, a literate, inventive vibraphonist whose poetic style has landed him in performance with the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic as well as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (8 p.m., June 16, Cafe Coda); and the 25th anniversary tour by Brian Blade & the Fellowship Band (8 p.m., June 18, Shannon Hall). Find the full schedule and info on tickets at madisonjazzfestivalwi.org.
media release: Chinchano is Juan Pastor's modern instrumental jazz group that fuses the traditional North American jazz harmonic palette with exciting rhythmic concepts drawn from Central and South America. This distinct sonic brand is revealed through not only the original compositions, but also in the unique drums/percussion setup that Juan brings to both the recording and to the live concerts. While each member of the group is a wonderful soloist in his own right, the collective aura of the band is that of generosity and gratitude, always serving the music in a way that invites the listener to feel equal parts comfortable, challenged, and intrigued.
Tickets $15 advance online at https://chinchano.bpt.me until 2 hours before the show. Tickets $20 at the door.
