& Downstairs:

CLOWN LOUNGE JAZZ

A great tribute night to two of jazz’s most legendary composers…MONK & MINGUS.

Monk In Motian pays homage to the music of Thelonious Monk in the style and instrumentation of drummer Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop Band. This features two guitars, two saxophones, electric bass, and drums, and no piano.

Like MIM, Poutums Trio Mingus Tribute approaches the music of Charles Mingus in a unique way, as a trio…a format that is not typically associated with the composer more known for larger ensemble arrangements. Nonetheless, Linz, Thomson, and Ikeda know just how to capture the essence of these great tunes.
