8:00pm KO Ensemble Kate Olson-Soprano Sax Robby Beasley-Trumpet Naomi Siegel-Trombone Simon Henneman-Guitar Geoff Harper-Bass Eric Eagle-Drums Please join Kate in celebrating her 32nd birthday with some great musicians whom she has convinced to play her music. Heavily influenced by the idiosyncracies and quirkiness of Thelonious Monk's music, Kate's compositions are great vehicles for her band's improvisation skills. soundcloud.com/kateplayssax/to-the-left soundcloud.com/kateplayssax/bachelor-party Action Figure The band was originally formed for a single performance during bassist Birch Pereira's Charlie Haden tribute in October, 2014. The group received such enthusiastic reviews from the audience that they decided to continue gigging under the name Action Figure, playing original music inspired by the free, hard swinging jazz of the Ornette Coleman quartet. The group features Seth Alexander on alto, Dave Abramson on drums and Birch Pereira on bass.
