Joe Fiedler’s Big Sackbut

Celebrating the release of Journey to Bowerbird on Multiphonics Music

Joe Fiedler, Evan Amoroso, Hugo Caldeira - Trombones
Marcus Rojas - Tuba
Satoshi Takeishi - Drums/Percussion

" . . . an adventurous trombonist, conceived Big Sackbut as something like a brass answer to the World Saxophone Quartet." - The New York Times

"The group rips, dances and converses . . . the quartet is so tight that they sound like one big, polyphonic low-brass organ.  Each trombonist kills it." - DownBeat Magazine

The New York Times has pinpointed a “feeling for a rugged but jaunty experimentalism” in the music of trombone veteran Joe Fiedler, a figure as esteemed in New York jazz circles as he is in the Afro-Caribbean and pop scenes. He’s an adventurous improviser and bandleader whose recordings range from solo trombone (The Howland Sessions) to quintet (Like, Strange) to trombone/tuba quartet (Big Sackbut, Sackbut Stomp, Live in Graz, Journey to Bowerbird — “the intersection of gutbucket blues and avant-garde audacity,” JazzTimes) to trio (The Crab, Sacred Chrome Orb, I’m In, Joe Fiedler Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff, Dragon Suite).

Tickets can be purchased at the door.
Admission is $20. (CASH ONLY)
