“…among the worthiest current day successors to the legacy of the great Django”
-The Wall Street Journal
The acoustic jazz ensemble, Rhythm Future Quartet has a straightforward agenda: to keep the spirit of Gypsy jazz alive and expanding in today’s musical universe. The virtuosic foursome, named for a Django Reinhardt tune, offers up a newly minted sound, influenced by the classic Hot Club of France, yet wholly contemporary. Led by violinist Jason Anick and guitarist Olli Soikkeli, the quartet performs dynamic and lyrical arrangements of both Gypsy jazz standards and original compositions that draw upon diverse international rhythms and musical idioms. With Max O’Rourke on second guitar and Greg Loughman on bass, Rhythm Future is dedicated to expanding the boundaries of a vital musical genre.

The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few. They currently have two CDs out on Summit Records, and will be releasing a new album later this year, featuring all new music by members of the band.

Last Sundays @49 West
2016-09-25 20:00 - 22:00 UTC | 49 West – The Back Room, 49 West St., Annapolis, MD, 21401, United States
Last Sundays@49 and pillowbook present Black Rhinoceros, a new duo featuring the amazing (and to us older musicians, annoyingly expert) Ahren Field (guitar/vox) and the wonderfully talented Erin Snedecor (cello/vox). Their smart arrangements turn complex melodies, chord progressions, and harmonies into beautiful and catchy pop tunes that ring in your head for hours. They’re mesmerizing! And the back room at 49 West is the perfect, intimate room in which to lean back, relax, have some delicious coffee, wine or spirit, maybe one of those delicious 49 West desserts or a meal.
Also performing is series host, pillowbook (guitarist/composer Adrian Bond and Telesma lead singer, Joanne Juskus). Come see and hear Adrian’s miracle ca. 1866 Martin parlor guitar played lovingly in the service of 200 year old English, Scottish and Irish folk music, Child ballads and the like.
$10 cover
