Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey Duo - October 15th, 2005
featuring special guests Jason Fraticelli and Fareed Haque
plus a special solo performance by Brian Haas
Fresh off a white-hot Wicker Park Fest set, Jacob Fred returns to bring us some more of that aural insanity we all love. You really can't say it much better than Dave Segal of Jazz Times: "JFJO burns with a quiet intensity rather than dramatically explodes. The musicians play with a coiled looseness, improvising with quicksilver yet deliberate force. You can hear the band's power and inventiveness creatively eroding structure, and the tension produced from that is exhilarating. If JFJO isn't moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew."

These guys are always keepin' it fresh, and this time will be no exception. Brian Haas will first perform SOLO on the piano, before being joined by bandmate Jason Smart, Philly upright bass extraordinaire Jason Fraticelli and Chicago guitar guru Fareed Haque.
