Aug 23 Dan Trudell / 'Who's Your Daddy' organ trio 7:30 $25 B-3 Hammond organist Dan Trudell is all soul. His recognizable sound in the genre of jazz organ trio has just the right amount of grease and intellect.

Downbeat Magazine calls Dan Trudell, 'The best organ player now working in Chicago.' New City says, 'Trudell is probably the hippest Hammond honcho you've never heard of.' Dan's association with Pat Mallinger and The Sabertooth Organ Quartet established a long time gig at Chicago's famed Green Mill jazz club a venue he still performs at.

8/29 - Mulligan Mosaics at The Fox Note - Princeton
Aug 29 Mulligan Mosaics 13pc big band 7:30 $26 Mulligan Mosaic's leader Ted Hogarth's search for available scores from the Gerry Mulligan Concert Band led him to a partnership with Mulligan's widow to make available to the public this great music. Though a veteran of several big bands it also led Hogarth to form his own big band, assembling top notch players in the Chicago area. While Hogarth could go on for days about why he chose to play Mulligan's music, he said it all boils down to uniqueness. Through nontraditional chord voicing and instrument combinations, Mulligan "...turned the rules of jazz on their head," Hogarth said. Mulligan Mosaics is a thirteen piece big band that swings hard. They have been performing since the summer of 2006 mostly around Chicago and specifically at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn. This music has enormous energy. The writing has a spareness of a quartet but with a lot of rich harmonies and deft interaction between sections. Every soloist fuels the fire and contributes to the solid swing of Mulligan's writing. This is jazz direct from the source. Sponsored by: Bentley Pharmacy - Princeton.
