May 23rd In The Country
In The Country 7:00pm
Throughout almost a decade In The Country has been a significant voice on the scene as the piano trio that doesn't pay attention to the traditional genre limits. Since then they have been selected best young jazz artists in Norway, played concerts in Europe, USA and Asia and released four albums and two DVDs on the prestigeous Rune Grammofon label ("Sounds and Sights in 2011, "ABC" in 2010, "Whiteout" in 2008, "Losing Stones, Collecting Bones" in 2006 and This Was The Pace Of My Heartbeat" in 2004) to much critical acclaim.
Downbeat called their debut album "one of the finest and most arresting albums to come out of Europe" that year, and their latest studio album "Whiteout" was voted the "best releases of 2009" by L.A.Times, All About Jazz, the Swedish Lira, the Norwegian national news paper Dagens Naerlingsliv and the Turkish Undomundo. The band was also recently announced as a nominee for the Independent Music Awards.

June 12th The Westerlies
The Westerlies 7:00pm
Featuring Andy Clausen (Trombone) Willem DeKoch (Trombone) Zubin Hensler (Trumpet) and Riley Mulherkar (Trumpet).
The Westerlies are a New York based brass quartet comprised of four friends from Seattle, Washington. They stretch the limits of conventional chamber music by emphasizing original composition and improvisation, to create music that resides in the ever-narrowing gap between contemporary classical composition, jazz influenced improvisation, and North American folk music. In addition to their own performances, The Westerlies have collaborated on projects with vocalists, live electronic performers, and an assortment of other instrumentalists. By bringing these collaborations to non-traditional venues and audiences unfamiliar with experimental music, The Westerlies seek to present chamber music as an organic and dynamic means of artistic expression in the twenty-first century.
