THE CHALK DOWN TRIO is a young up-and-coming jazz combo you need to hear
Manage episode 485466449 series 3455475
There's no shortage of talent when it comes to jazz in NE Wisconsin and The Chalk Down Trio is proof of that. Guitarist Alec Riegsecker, bassist Andrew Wilson, and drummer Ryan Thomas are three very talented young men that have jelled together to make music that bridges the jazz and funk realms. What makes them the musicians they are is their willingness to be open to what older, more seasoned jazzers in the area have to say and learn from them. It doesn't hurt that they also pick up bits and pieces from the other bands they play in and let that inform The Chalk Down Trio's style. This is one jazz combo you'll want to pay attention to.
"All Of Me*," "People Make The World Go Round†," and "Ugetsu‡" arranged and performed by The Chalk Down Trio
