Thursday, December 2nd at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the  Bradfield/Madsen Quintet performing Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis and Johnny Griffin's "Tough Tenor Favorites", released in 1962. The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist Abena Motaboli.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Johnny Griffin and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis, the two "tough tenors" in question, always made for an exciting team. With pianist Horace Parlan, bassist Buddy Catlett and drummer Ben Riley completing the quintet...., Griff and Lockjaw are in top form and quite competitive on a variety of standards. Highlights include "Blue Lou," "Ow," "I Wished on the Moon" and "From This Moment On." The main winner in these fiery tenor "battles" is the listener." ~Scott Yanow

Tuesday, December 14th at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present the Eric Binder Quintet performing Milt Jackson's "Wizard of The Vibes", released in 1952. 

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"The music on Wizard of the Vibes features Milt Jackson with the Thelonious Monk Quartet in a 1948 session combined with a 1952 date with his bandmates from the Modern Jazz Quartet... the chemistry between Jackson and Monk on classics like "Misterioso," "Evidence," "I Mean You," and "Epistrophy" is immediately apparent... Milt Jackson's inventive playing throughout both dates makes this an important CD in his considerable discography, so it should be a part of any bop fan's collection." ~Ken Dryden

PERFORMANCES BY:
Eric Binder- Drums 
Micah Rutschman- Vibes
Roy McGrath- Alto
Carl Kennedy- Piano

Friday, December 17th at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present the return of the Michael Nearpass Large Ensemble performing Duke Ellington’s jazz interpretations of "The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"In 1960, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn decided to take on Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite, released on Columbia records. Although there were risks of transforming the works of one the most prolific composers into a jazz setting, Duke and Billy attacked the Russian Composer's music and treat it as if it were their own. In order to truly fit the change of the music, Duke and Billy decided to retitle the songs. This record serves as a tribute to the Russian composer Tchaikovsky, as well as the artistry of both Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn."
