Joe Policastro Trio, Wilder Deitz Singers

×

Expand

Using their savvy to interpolate classic hits and movie scores into jazz compositions, bassist Joe Policastro's trio is testament to the versatility of jazz. Across three album releases the Chicago-based group has breathed new air into older source material, including a stellar re-imagining of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon." On that track, guitarist Dave Miller carries out the song's famous guitar riff until a breakdown at the minute mark. For the next six minutes the group rearranges threads of the song in various, scintillating ways. With an opening set from Wilder Deitz Singers, led by Madison’s young jazz wunderkind.
