Christian Dillingham Jazz Quartet & Jason Patrick Miller

Christian Dillingham

Some artists you simply have to bring back. Grammy-winning bassist Christian Dillingham is one of them. A Rendezvous Arts favorite for years, Christian returns to close our sixth season with music from his acclaimed record Cascades alongside brand-new compositions currently in the works. His quartet features a powerhouse lineup: saxophonist Lenard Simpson, guitarist Dave Miller, and drummer Greg Artry. Together, they create music that is both rooted and forward-looking, rich with groove, lyricism, and discovery.

Jason Patrick Miller

Photographer

On the visual side, Jason Patrick Miller transforms Chicago through the eye of a pinhole camera. His images, printed on metal and altered through scratching, rust, and texture, reimagine the city as something both raw and timeless. Miller’s work captures the weight of steel and structure, while revealing the beauty of impermanence. The improvisatory spirit of his process mirrors the spontaneity of jazz, making his art a striking companion to Dillingham’s sound.

Photography etched in metal. Jazz alive with invention. It is the perfect pairing and a powerful finale to Season Six.
