Saxophonist and composer Dan Blake has developed a wide-ranging career as a contemporary composer, performer and educator who “regards tradition as a welcoming playground best approached with a sense of wonder and adventure” (The Boston Globe). Blake’s music has been called “stunning” (All About Jazz), and he was dubbed a “virtuoso” (The New York Times) for his work touring and recording both with his own projects and with luminaries of jazz and popular music like three-time Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding, NEA Jazz Master Anthony Braxton, and Velvet Underground founding member John Cale.
His most recent recording "Da Fé" for Sunnyside Records was called “One of the most relevant and musically rich albums of 2021 in any style of music” (Alan Young). For this concert the trio will perform music from “The Digging” (Sunnyside Records), which the Ottawa Citizen described as “a creative essay on what can be done in the saxophone trio format”.
He appeared previously at Chez Hanny with Dan Blake.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, bassist Fred Randolph started taking ukulele lessons as a young child. At age 11, inspired by Jimi Hendrix, he switched to the guitar. After listening to Howard Roberts and Jimmy Smith in high school, he became fascinated with the unique harmonies of jazz, and his musical direction was forever altered. He began to seriously study and play jazz, first on the guitar, and later, on the saxophone and trumpet during his college years at UC Berkeley.
His instrumental epiphany occurred, however, when he was working on his Master’s Degree in Composition at CSU Hayward, he fell under the spell of the bass, captivated by its endless possibilities and sounds. The acoustic and electric basses are now his primary instruments.
He has performed with Maria Muldaur, Dan Hicks, Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, Collective West Jazz Orchestra, Charged Particles, Sandy Cressman, Mads Tolling, Michael Smolens, Vince Lateano, Fil Lorenz Big Band, Roberta Donnay, Bobbe Norris and Larry Dunlap, Kenny Washington, Gaea Schell, Marcos Silva, Silvestre Martinez, Michael O’Neill, Susan Chen, Ian Carey, Scotty Wright, Dmitri Matheny, Barry Finnerty, Richard Howell, Bob Kenmotsu, Steve Carter, Ian Dogole, Calvin Keys, Paul McCandless, Melanie O’Reilly, Sheldon Brown Trio, Al Molina, Terrence Brewer, Akira Tana, and Frank Martin.
His fourth CD as a leader, "Mood Walk" was released in 2020.
Fred appeared here previously with David Widelock, Ian Carey, Homespun Trio, and the Fred Randolph Quintet.
