Chris Morrissey
Madison is experiencing a high-end summer when it comes to touring jazz acts. Bassist Chris Morrissey is one of the brightest and most inventive up-and-comers from the New York scene. His original compositions set him apart as much as his instrumental technique and Morrissey's songs get real-time, loving attention from his bandmates, especially by vocalist and alto sax player Charlotte Greve.
media release: ALL presents acclaimed New York-based jazz bassist Chris Morrissey on Thursday, July 7 at 7pm, in support of his 5th release: Impact Winter Formal. Named a “Rising Star of Electric Bass” in this year’s Downbeat Critic’s Poll and called "...the shape of things to come for bassists and bandleaders" by JazzTimes, Morrissey is a musician with an uncanny ability to blend styles and genres. He’s as adept as a singer-songwriter as an improvising jazz musician and composer. Morrissey will be joined by his New York band: Charlotte Greve (alto sax and voice), Marco Bolfelli (guitar), and William Campbell (drums).
Advance tickets $15 ($10 students/ALL members) online until two hours before the show. Tickets $20 at the door for everyone. Doors open at 6:30pm.
