Join us for an evening of Contemporary and Experimental Jazz that brings together Chicago and France based musicians for a musical evening of experimentation. This iteration, Jazz Bridge # 2.10 includes the following:
Nick Mazzarella, alto saxophone
Tim Stine, guitar
Céline Rivoal, accordion
Katie Ernst, double bass, voice
Sylvain Lemêtre, percussions
Established in 2013, The Bridge provides the opportunity for a Franco-American ensemble to travel between the U.S. and France to collaborate, experiment and learn from each other.
This performance adds a new element by providing a unique opportunity for the UChicago Jazz ensemble to play with the Jazz Bridge musicians. The UChicago Jazz Ensemble, led by Michael Allemana, is a versatile collection of UChicago student musicians, frequently joined in performance by noted Chicago-area professionals and known for its boldness in showcasing cutting-edge works.
