And it really was a quintet when first conceived about 10 years ago and when the band released its first recording in 2013. Yet one of the delights of this ensemble is its expanding cast and somewhat fluid nature. The anchor, of course, is leader Chris Bates, who has brought together a septet for this headliner performance. Expect suprise new compositions and favorites from the “New Hope” CD. It’s a wall of sound, groove, and power with face-melting solos by these Minnesota Jazz favorites. | |||

Soul searching, blissful camaraderie Like Dolphins at Play in the Waves, Red Planet dives into the Music of “Right Now”. Dean Magraw – guitar Jay Epstein – drums Chris Bates – bass Dean Magraw, Jay Epstein and Chris Bates began their journey together as Red Planet in 2004. A mutual love of John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk and Jimi Hendrix provided fertile ground and ample room to explore and create together. Through the music of these masters they have developed a group sound that harnesses the explosiveness of rock and roll, the buoyant jubilation of swing and the searching, probing explorations of open improvisation. Red Planet can take you from a quiet storm of shimmering intimacy to a churning, explosive crescendo of vulcanized power. These three friends LOVE to PLAY and you will definitely be entranced by their communicative energy. Red Planet released their first album, “Space Dust” in 2011 to great critical acclaim in the Twin Cities. It was hailed as a triumph and served notice that Magraw was back after recovering from cancer. Red Planet returned to action after this with a renewed sense of musicality. Life has a tendency to do that to the music and musician – make it deeper, push you to dig deeper, to pull more impact from each note, put more intimacy into the listening. The bonds of fellowship grow deeper through experience and Dean, Jay and Chris have continued to grow together. “One of Jazz’s most innovative threesomes” – Jazz Police RedPlanetJazz.com | |||

Cognitive Dissonance is the second album from long-standing Twin Cities trio Framework, featuring guitarist Chris Olson, bassist Chris Bates and drummer Jay Epstein. It follows the acclaimed 2009 eponymous debut which was hailed as one of the best Minnesota jazz albums of the year by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune who described it as “both cerebral and visceral, electric and acoustic, with sublime compositions, and enviable empathy.” Those elements are on full display once again on Cognitive Dissonance, with 10 new original compositions from Olson and “New Anthem,” a reimagining of the “Star Spangled Banner,” which bookends the album. Founded in 1997, Framework began by exploring and creating music inspired by artists such as Keith Jarret, Gateway, Ralph Towner and Bill Evans. Now more than two decades on, they have shaped their collective sound into a beautiful ensemble that can freely explore almost any area of the musical map. In late 2019, Framework started rehearsing for this new album, a process which was first interrupted by the pandemic and then by the murder and of George Floyd and subsequent protests and riots that tore apart the trio’s city of Minneapolis. As the dust settled, Framework went into the studio in late summer of 2020 with Grammy winning drummer and engineer JT Bates. After the events of the previous months, the music took on a greater depth and meaning. Though the compositions were all written before these events, the titles that inspired the music initially took on greater and even sometimes new meaning, becoming more poignant, biting, satirical, cynical and even angry in the months that followed. Let’s try to move past the dissonances and come together to celebrate new music and new energies of community! | |||
