This InDIGenous Jazz concert, presented by the Madison Music Collective, features some of Madison’s finest players. Executive Tea Set includes drummer Michael Brenneis, pianist Mark Thierfelder and bassist Bradley Townsend; the group has been together for a decade, but they’ve recently joined forces with trumpeter Paul Dietrich. Brennan Connors & Stray Passage plans to improvise based on their “mind states,” and also play from their 2017 album, Emergence.
press release: The InDIGenous Jazz Series, presented by the Madison Music Collective, is now in its fourth year, and eighth season, of presenting free concerts featuring original, improvised music composed and performed by local and regional jazz musicians and bandleaders. This is the second of four concerts that will be presented this fall at the UW Memorial Union Play Circle.
