Jazz @ The Dance Hall: Weird Turn Pro
Weird Turn Pro is a music group. Their name is a nod to Hunter S. Thompson who, among many things, saw the value in both chaos and process. Those two forces are alternately employed or yielded to by WTP as they create music that is both like water eroding granite over the millennia or the momentary flicker of an open flame. Leaning heavily on improvisation, compositions not only afford opportunities for each member of the ensemble to improvise freely, but require the ensemble to constantly shift and re-interpret the when, how, and why of melody and form. Band leader / composer Mike Effenberger organizes sound in a uniquely personal way; informed by classical and jazz traditions yet staking a claim in the world of modern minimalism.
Weird Turn Pro is: Mike Effenberger - keys / compositions Rob Gerry - bass Mike Walsh - drums Matt Langley - reeds Chris Gagne - trombone Chris Klaxton - trumpet
Preceding the concert at 6:30 p.m. there will be a discussion by the The Seacoast Jazz Appreciation Project (SJAP), an initiative of the Seacoast Jazz Society. The series presents outstanding jazz artists in performance and, importantly, an open conversation with the members of the audience. Now in its ninth season, the Seacoast Jazz Appreciation Project is addressed to enhancing the appreciation of jazz for listeners at all levels of musical sophistication, while demystifying this uniquely American musical genre for its newest listeners. Its a chance to hang with some outstanding jazz musicians, to hear their music, and about their music, in a casual, club-like environment.
