Asheville Art Trio
When the originators of the Asheville Original Music series—bassist Mike Holstein and drummer Justin Watt—teamed up with pianist Dr. William Bares (Harvard ethnomusicology Ph.D and professor of music at UNC Asheville) a decade ago to create a working jazz piano trio, the result was a new musical concept that has blurred the lines between art and entertainment, structure and spontaneity. The group has has evolved a sound that combines elements of global music, Americana and jazz in ways that are recognizably artistic and quintessentially Ashevillian.

Every Tuesday, savor experimental musica universalis focused primarily on the group's original writing and sonic explorations. These aural wayfarers fear no boundary.

Mike Baggetta
Mike Baggetta: guitar, live processing
“…vintage twang in service of Americana-meets exploratory Jazz-psych…”
-Rolling Stone
"Guitarist Mike Baggetta bends notes, and his genre, to make music that sounds like life.”
-Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar
“Mike Baggetta makes stealthy, mysterious music … he’s trying to do something personal with collective improvisation without ever getting in the way of beauty.”
-Ben Ratliff, New York Times
“…a kind of post-Frisellian sonic explorer … with his wild whammy-bar articulations, ambient looping and rippling arpeggios … full of subversive surprises, hellacious skronking, string-scraping and a general hornets’ nest of fuzz-toned dissonance”
-Bill Milkowski, DownBeat Magazine / Slate Magazine
“Mike Baggetta is a genre-blurring guitar hero...at the forefront of an army of guitar innovators”
-JazzTimes

Asheville Jazz Collective
The Asheville Jazz Collective was founded by drummer, and former Berklee College of Music professor, Alan Hall as an “open borders” stylistic vehicle for composing and performimg with like-minded peers. Originally he was joined by UNCA professors Bill Bares-piano, Steve Alford-woodwinds and New Orleans transplant Josef Butts-bass. Since then, we’ve added
trombonists Caleb McMahon, Nick Garrison, vibist Jason DeCristofaro and woodwind player Will Boyd to our flexible front line. We cull our material from a wide range of jazz standards and original material.
Whether in trio, quartet or quintet format we strive for a varied, rich and surprising performance for ourselves and our audiences. We’ve recently completed a recording at Sound Temple Studio and will be releasing those tracks in video and audio format in Fall 2022.
