Presenting two bands crafting the perfect high-intensity balance of jazz and rock energy!8:30 pm - Tommy Carroll Trio
Tommy Carroll - drums

The Tommy Carroll Trio is a subset of Calculated Discomfort, a rhythmic genre-bending ensemble lead by the drummer / percussionist / composer since 2018. Featuring Lyn Rye (electric and acoustic basses) and Marcos Rios (electric guitar), the trio performs a mixture of rock-inspired jazz fusion compositions and cinematic longform improvisations. The compositions highlight Carroll's percussive style, which creatively blends jazz and rock drumming with the techniques and textures of hand percussion from both folkloric and modern contexts. The groups goal is to be as heavy as possible while remaining graceful.

Paul Abella's Questionable Decisions is an exciting five piece ensemble from Chicago that could be referred to as “avant-garde jazz for the masses.” Picking up where the New York No Wave revolution left off, their sound finds the commonalities in the feedback fueled bliss of both Sonny Sharrock and Fugazi, Driven by the deeply held belief that Jazz is, at its core, subversive party music
