As the school semester draws to a close and we enter the heart of the holiday season, what could be better way to unwind than a night of great jazz?  Saxsquatch and Bridge Band will be performing tonight (12/16) at Louie’s Trophy Bar, bringing a modern vibe to classic jazz tunes.

I had the pleasure of seeing this group last time they played Louie’s under the name ‘The William Wenger Trio.’  I truly enjoyed their blend of be-bop and cool jazz, which satisfies the taste of jazz appreciators and yet remains palatable for all music fans.

The band last time (and I’ve been lead to believe it will be the same tonight) featured Mr. Jarad Saxsquatch Selner on the Alto and Tenor Saxophones.  The rythm section consisted of James Duke (Son Drop) on the drums, Jakab Selner on the electric bass, and Tommy Aldred on the Fender Rhodes.  These talented fella’s get to show off a different side of DIT(K) that is bound to put a swing in your stride and a smile on your face.

The show starts at 9 and will go until midnight.  The bar area has no cover and the back room with the tunes is only $2.  Information for Louie’s is listed in our  “Where you at?” section.  This is definitely a show to check out if you need a breath of fresh air.
