The Madison Jazz Festival and Cafe CODA will present Mr. Chair's Strings & Things, led by Madison-based contemporary fusion ensemble Mr. Chair, and featuring guest musicians on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:00pm.
Mr. Chair presents a special concert featuring Jon Hoel on tenor sax, and a string quartet of Sherri Zhang, Wes Luke, Christopher Dozoryst and Aaron Fried. Performing both their original music and reimaginings of music by Igor Stravinsky, Nadia Boulanger, Duke Ellington and Ahmad Jamal.
Winner of the 2021 Wisconsin Area Music Industry Award for Best Jazz Artist, Mr. Chair brings a truly unique performance to every stage they play. Mr. Chair looks like a jazz combo, enchants like a string quartet, and electrifies like a rock band, all while delighting listeners with their fresh and authentic sound. As classically-trained musicians well-versed in jazz, electronics, prog rock, world music and beyond, Mr. Chair is a contemporary fusion ensemble for music fans of all backgrounds. Their sound palette is diverse, and used to tell stories in styles cinematic, surreal, romantic, funky, and whimsical. Mr. Chair features Ben Ferris (bass), Jason Kutz (piano) and Mike Koszewski (drums).
