BEN WOLFE - BASSNICOLE GLOVER - SAXOPHONEORRIN EVANS - PIANOAARON KIMMEL- DRUMSFollowing his acclaimed 2023 release Unjust,which received accolades from DownBeat, TheWall Street Journal, NPR and more, esteemedbassist and composer Ben Wolfe returns withThe Understated. This project features a mix ofnew compositions and fresh takes on his earlierworks, with a notable emphasis on ballads,showcasing Wolfes ability to transform theclassic song form into a cohesive narrative.Wolfe has always been drawn to finding beautyin subtlety. He perceives a certain tranquilityand elegance in the Coltrane Quartet, LouisArmstrongs Hot Fives and Sevens, the legendaryMiles Davis bands and rhythm sections, and themusic of Charlie Parker. While he, of course,revels at the immense world-building energyof this music, its the other side the elusive,magical aspect that endlessly captivates him the understated. The composer draws inspirationmost from the ensemble work of these hallmarkjazz ensembles. Despite the individual partsbeing extraordinarily beautiful on their own, themusicians in these archetypal ensembles playonly what is needed to serve the music, payingparticular attention to the band-sound moresothan their individual sound. The Understatedembodies this ethos with a tremendouslyimpactful ensemble-oriented approach.The Understated is a testament to Wolfesdedication to finding beauty in subtlety andensemble performance, offering listeners atranquil and elegant listening experience.All GA sections (Main Floor GA &Miles Davis Mezzanine)will be seated by host and are first come, first served (other than where a reserved sign is posted to table).If you require special seating, please call the venue for accommodations no later than 48 hours prior to show date.Please note: If you do not purchase all seats at a table, other customers may be seated with you.Our new pre-show reception, "Mix, Mingle and Groove," offered before the 7pm show, includes a variety of appetizers, carving board and an assortment of desserts.
