Wayward Music Series: Pete Leinonen solo + quartet

Pete Leinonen, double bass
Wally Shoup, saxophone
Jim Knodle, trumpet
Greg Campbell, drums/percussion

Jailbreak… the one with 32 bars.

Solo double bass by composer/bandleader Pete Leinonen.

A spontaneously improvised long form composition using elements and fragments from various original compositions and jazz standards as thematic material to be developed in the course of the performance.

Following his solo set, Pete will be joined by long-time associates Wally Shoup on saxophone and Jim Knodle on trumpet plus Greg Campbell, drums and percussion. They will create an unrehearsed “free jazz” set in which anything might happen. No plan. No rules. This will be the very first performance by this ensemble of well known and loved improvisors. Says Pete: “I’ve performed extensively with all of them individually in various settings going back as far as the early 80s. I’m looking forward to improvising, the four of us together for the first time, on this special night.”

Tickets: $5-$20 donation at the door
