ASTRO (Anders Svanoe’s Teleporting Rhythmic Orchestra)

Dec 3, 1:00am - Dec 3, 4:30am

Cafe CODA

ASTRO (Anders Svanoe’s Teleporting Rhythmic Orchestra)

Anders Svanoe-baritone saxophone
Pawan Benjamin-alto and tenor saxophones, flutes, Shehnai
Tony Catania-tenor saxophone
Jim Doherty-trumpet
Phil Zell-trumpet
Louka Patenaude-guitar
Henry Boehm-bass
Brad Townsend-bass
Michael Brenneis-drums/electronics
Nick Zielinski-drums

The group features an all-star group of improvisors and composers from the Madison area. The group will teleport musically from experimental to more familiar music written by baritone saxophonist, Anders Svanoe.

"The music here is anything but predicable and Svanoe writes memorable melodies, like the hard swinging bebop composition "Bird Strike" which would fit easily on a Pepper Adams recording. Svanoe's heated solo gives way to the coolness of Doherty's trumpet. Elsewhere the saxophonist goes toe-to-toe with Conroy on the brief meditative piece "Spiral Staircase Glamour;" and extends the reflection on "Altimeter High," which could easily be confused with the music of Don Cherry. Then there's the cartoon theme/Albert Ayler march "Walk On The SAS" which mines madcap for relevance. The closing track "Subsonic" features the bassists' bowed and plucked sounds that give way to luscious harmonies. Svanoe's richly verdant horn opens the composition to images of blue skies blue."

Mark Corroto- All About Jazz

"This album thrives on ambiguity, bleeding between styles and moods. If it’s firmly rooted in jazz it also explicitly draws on Svanoe’s love of heavy metal. If Svanoe is building these pieces around definite, composed themes (the full trio shares composition credits on the masterfully eerie “Hotshot”), he’s also determined to bend them into oblique improvised corners. Don’t get comfortable (or uncomfortable) in any one mode for too long. “Rosy Cheeks” takes you into the baritone-as-suave-tenor mode, a welcome if an almost misleading turn in the album’s sequence."

The Brittingham Players | FREE

The Brittingham Players | FREE

Dec 10, 9:00pm

Cafe CODA

The Brittingham Players are a Madison based violin and cello duo. Their two hour set is comprised of an eclectic array of classical music spanning from the classical to late romantic era. They will feature popular tunes known and loved by many as well as selections from composers less well-known. Come listen in and be enchanted and enthralled by two gorgeous lads, the Brittingham Players!

Evan Howell (cellist): Evan Howell is a local Madison cellist. His close relationship to the instrument began when he was nine years old and quickly developed into an intoxicating expression and exploration of self. This relationship earned him a music scholarship at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR, where he studied cello alongside theatre performance. He performed as the principal cellist of the school's symphony but enjoyed the intimacy of chamber performance above all else. After some time playing in a quartet across the city, COVID struck, and he was not able to engage with music again in that way until he met Adam in Madison. He adores their friendship and is proud of the fullness of heart they express through classical music.

Adam El-Meanawy (violinist): Adam El-Meanawy moved to Madison in 2016 to study biochemistry. In 2019, he graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in philosophy- a change motivated by experiences had while studying music in Vienna for a semester. He now serves the Madison community as a barista south of campus. He anticipates returning to academic life in the coming years, in order to pursue s PhD in the philosophy of psychology. In the meantime, he enjoys writing with typewriters, taking pictures with mid-century cameras, and, perhaps above all, making music with his violin.

Thaddeus Tukes and Hanah Jon Taylor Quartet

Thaddeus Tukes and Hanah Jon Taylor Quartet

Dec 17, 2:00am

Cafe CODA1224 Williamson st.Madison, WI53703 Map

Presented as the "World's best vibraphonist" by World Expo 2020 in Dubai, composer and percussionist Thaddeus Tukes honors the legacy of the vibraphone within the jazz tradition and beyond. His virtuosity and creativity "brings poetry to the vibraphone" (Chicago Tribune, 2019), which has captivated audiences from Carnegie Hall in New York to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Thaddeus says he is a proud practitioner of the "Chicago Vibe," and hails his hometown as the foundation of the modern jazz aesthetic. The future of the jazz tradition has arrived, and Thaddeus Tukes is at the forefront.

Hanah Jon Taylor is arguably the preeminent saxophonist and flutist in Madison jazz and a leading catalyst, organizer and educator in inter-arts programming. Taylor was founder and director of The Madison Center for the Creative and Cultural Arts, which offered concerts and multi-arts classes. Taylor also directed Freedom Fest, which presented such world-class performers as Archie Shepp, Sonny Fortune, Richard Davis, Cecil McBee, Edward Wilkerson, acclaimed Chicago singer Dee Alexander, and Corey Wilkes and Roscoe Mitchell of the legendary Art Ensemble of Chicago. With a career spanning over 30 years, Mr. Taylor has appeared with songwriter/folk artist Richie Havens, percussionist Steve McCall, the Colson Unity Troupe, saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, pianist Jobic LeMasson, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, bassists Rafael Garrett and Malachi Favors, and the Great Black Music Ensemble of Chicago.
