June 24 (Note the date change. 4th Tuesday this month) - Cross Modulations at the Hideout. Tix available at the link in bio
Garden Parties: Garden Parties is an experimental improvisational trio consisting of Jeff Kimmel, Ben MacDonald, and MT Coast. The group was formed with the aim of bringing friends together to share in the joy of making improvised music. Their music can be described as minimal, jazz, noise, and ambient, but the motivation behind the music is to create spaces for exploration.
Ratchet: This Chicago-based ensemble brings together four innovative musicians—Jeff Chan (woodwinds), Michael Perkins (keyboards), Chad Clark (guitar), and Ausberto Acevedo (bass)—each contributing a distinct voice to a collective sound rooted in improvisation, experimentation, and genre-defying creativity. In addition to their collaboration as musicians, these four also are the founding members of Resonance Arts, a not for profit venture seeking to provide a forum for the great jazz and improvised, new music, and experimental electronic music being made in Chicago.
