SUMMARY:Brian Felix Organ Trio
DESCRIPTION:Brian Felix has spent decades in conversation with the organ\, and that relationship runs deep enough to contain multitudes. Monday night he brings Tim Fischer and Ryan Ptasnik into Little Jumbo for an evening rooted in the long tradition of organ-driven jazz and soul while reaching toward something less easily named. The three of them move together with the kind of attentiveness that only comes from real time spent listening\, and the music they make holds reggae\, samba\, gospel\, and ambient space inside the same architecture without any of it feeling forced. Their 2025 record Level Up landed an All About Jazz Song of the Day and drew praise for exactly that quality\, the way the whole thing coheres.

SUMMARY:Sanders\, Boyd\, Page\, & Ptasnik
DESCRIPTION:Jay Sanders has been quietly dismantling the boundary between labor and cosmology ever since Reggie Wooten handed him something fundamental about vibration and Sun Ra's own drummer handed him something about architecture. On July 14 he brings his quartet into the corner of the room: Will Boyd on the full reed family\, each horn present because each says a thing the others cannot\, with the soprano sounding most like a message sent across a very long distance. Zack Page on bass\, the kind of player who improves every room he enters by refusing a careless note. Ryan Ptasnik on drums\, who has played a band room in Wyoming and a stage built from pickup trucks at the foot of a Kyrgyzstan peak and carries from both the same essential skill: reading the air and staying aloft.

SUMMARY:Mike Holstein trio 
DESCRIPTION:Mike Holstein has spent most of his life as the man other musicians build on\, the bassist who gives a song somewhere to stand. Tonight he steps away from that role entirely. He leads the trio from vibraphone and guitar\, the instruments he first reached for as a child\, long before the bass ever claimed him. The vibraphone is a particular choice for a leader — metal bars rung by mallets\, each tone blooming and dissolving on its own unhurried clock\, harmony left open and half-lit so the silence between notes means something. Danny Iannucci holds the low end now\, and Joe Enright moves through the room on brushes like the leading edge of a slow front.

SUMMARY:Ghosts of the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:The American dream was a song before it was anything you could hold. It lived in parlor tunes and field hollers\, in protest verses and Sunday hymns\, in what the country sang to itself to keep believing. Ghosts of the American Dream moves through that inheritance like a slow walk through rooms no one lives in anymore. A Stephen Foster lament sits beside Woody Guthrie's argument over who the land belongs to\; Sister Rosetta Tharpe's vow to study war no more leans against the breadline weariness of Brother\, Can You Spare a Dime. These are not covers so much as visitations.

SUMMARY:Kinetic Earth: Will Boyd & Kevin Spears
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Spears plays electric kalimba the way a physicist might play light — running metal tines through layers of effects until each note arrives at a different altitude. Will Boyd answers with the full family of woodwinds and saxophones\, and beneath all that breath and reed lives a deep pull from the soul lineage of Eddie Harris and Houston Person. Together they perform as Kinetic Earth\, and their name tells you something true: this is not stillness\, but it is grounded. Spears sends things skyward\; Boyd keeps them in orbit. They call it outer space jazz\, which is accurate without being complete.

SUMMARY:Benevolent Order of the Creature\, Lodge No. 241
DESCRIPTION:The Lodge has no founding date. The Creature was already in the corner when everything else arrived\, four amber eyes arranged outside any known symmetry\, patient in a way the room cannot account for. It does not perform. It presides. Jay Sanders\, Will Boyd\, Alan Hall\, Zack Page\, Andy Pond\, and Jason Krekel are the part of the night that moves. The single bylaw is sympathetic vibration: strike one thing truly and the rest of the room answers whether or not you meant to touch it. Membership is not applied for. You are admitted the moment a held note outlasts the breath that started it and you forget which one of you is dreaming the other.

SUMMARY:Quinn Sternberg's Slurve
DESCRIPTION:A slurve is the pitch nobody can quite categorize: too much curve to be a slider\, too much bite to be a curveball\, a break that lives in the gap between two things everyone assumed they understood. Quinn Sternberg named his quartet well. The Bloomington-raised\, New Orleans-seasoned bassist and composer writes music that moves the same way\, melodic enough to follow and restless enough to keep bending right when you think you have read the arc. Steve Alford\, who leads jazz and contemporary music at UNCSA\, moves between saxophone and bass clarinet with the looseness of someone who has let punk-jazz trios and trash-can percussion reshape what the horn can mean.

SUMMARY:The Steve LaSpina New Music Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Steve LaSpina has spent four decades as the ground other musicians stood on\, holding the floor for Jim Hall\, Stan Getz\, Benny Carter\, Phil Woods. That kind of tenure makes the word new in this ensemble's name a small act of insistence. LaSpina is also a composer\, seventy-five originals and counting\, and tonight he steps out from beneath everyone else's music to put his own in the center of the room. His tone is warm and unhurried\, the sound of someone with nothing left to prove and a great deal still to say. Tim Fischer plays guitar like a man who studied bebop in one room and built synthesizers in the next. Ryan Ptasnik carries a stranger map than most\, his time shaped by everything from rural Wyoming to an opera house in Kazakhstan.

SUMMARY:Sanders\, Boyd\, Page & Hall
DESCRIPTION:Four collections of stellar debris walked into a room and decided to build something. Jay Sanders bends guitar through a prism of light no one else can see\, angles of refraction that move between Sharrock and Hartford without settling anywhere familiar. Will Boyd carries frequencies rooted in red clay churches\, now orbiting through dimensions his EWI opens like airlock doors. Zack Page provides the gravitational pull\, the low-end mass that keeps the whole system from flying apart. Alan Hall\, four decades into a conversation with rhythm\, treats percussion less like timekeeping and more like particle physics\, breaking beats into smaller and smaller pieces until something fundamental reveals itself.

SUMMARY:Hadden / Sternberg / Enright
DESCRIPTION:Isaac Hadden\, Quinn Sternberg\, and Joe Enright arrive with nothing decided. No setlist\, no arrangements\, no agreed-upon first note. What gets built tonight gets built from silence forward\, in real time\, in this room\, and when the room goes quiet it will be gone. Hadden's guitar moves between something like starlight and something like gravel\; Enright's drums carry the logic of jazz reshaped by years of listening to music that doesn't sit still\; Sternberg's bass supplies the gravity that lets the other two roam without floating off entirely. The three of them listen the way you listen when you're not sure what you heard\, and out of that listening comes something close to shared foresight\, a feel for where the music is headed just before it arrives.

SUMMARY:Sanders\, Boyd\, Page & Hall
DESCRIPTION:Four musicians walk into a room and somewhere between the first note and the last\, the room stops being a room. Jay Sanders on guitar\, Will Boyd on reeds\, Zack Page on bass\, and Alan Hall on percussion have spent years learning how to dissolve the walls between intention and accident\, between structure and surrender. What comes out is neither jazz nor Americana nor anything else you could name with confidence — it is the thing underneath those things\, the shared root system. Their original compositions breathe\, shift\, and occasionally collapse into beautiful disorder before finding their footing again. This is music that trusts silence as much as sound\, that lets a melody fully arrive before letting it go.

SUMMARY:The Page Brothers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Andy and Zack Page were born four minutes apart and have been finishing each other's musical sentences ever since\, Andy's guitar lines and Zack's bass tracking so closely the seam between them disappears. They grew up in a house where blues records\, old-time singing\, and hard rock all shared the same air\, and somehow they never chose between those worlds. Tonight they bring two players who made similar peace with the same problem. Steve Davidowski was the original keyboardist in the Dixie Dregs\, played on the demo that got them signed and the debut that followed\, then left at the band's rising moment to tour with Vassar Clements instead. He lives up the road in Marshall now\, carries a piccolo on walks through town\, and is quietly building something he calls Xenobilly.

SUMMARY:Sanders\, Boyd\, Page & Hall
DESCRIPTION:Four musicians walk into Little Jumbo and something in the room shifts — the creature in the corner leans forward. Will Boyd\, Zack Page\, Jay Sanders\, and Alan Hall have spent years developing a shared language that doesn't belong to any single tradition\, and on a given night they might move through something ancient and melodic\, then into open territory where the map dissolves entirely. Sanders finds frequencies on guitar that feel less played than discovered. Boyd's reeds carry the kind of breath that sounds like it remembers something. Page holds the low end like a foundation under shifting ground. Hall keeps time the way weather does — present\, purposeful\, occasionally transformative.
