Every Tuesday, savor experimental musica universalis focused primarily on the group's original writing and sonic explorations. These aural wayfarers fear no boundary.
Known for many years for his work with Acoustic Syndicate, the Snake Oil Medicine Show, The E.Normus Trio, Donna the Buffalo, AVAS, and many others, Jay Sanders has since returned to his musical roots as a composer and guitarist. His debut solo record, Évanescent, (much of which was honed while playing live at Little Jumbo) will be released in the late spring of 2023.
Alan Hall has been a professional drummer for over 45 years. He’s performed and/or recorded with international jazz artists Lee Konitz, Paul McCandless, Art Lande, Ed Simon, Geoffrey Keezer, Kenny Washington, Rebecca Parris, and Joyce Cooling as well as Cirque Du Soliel, Teatro Zinzanni, Wicked S.F. He has taught at many prestigious jazz institutions including the Berklee College of Music and California Jazz Conservatory. A prodigious composer, Alan also leads the Asheville Jazz Collective, a staple of Little Jumbo's Monday jazz series.
Let's be honest, if you enjoy live music in Asheville, NC, and you don't know the singularity known as Zack Page, you've clearly been living under a rock. Zack is arguably Asheville's most versatile upright and electric bassist; the go-to guy for just about everyone which keeps him out of the house and averaging 275 gigs a year. Zack has performed extensively in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including studio work in Asheville, Nashville and New York City.
