JandB.jpg

Jay Anderson returns from New Orleans to join forces with his mighty jazz trio, Stomata, and the one-and-only queen of Milwaukee R&B, B~Free, for a very special event that will showcase the amazing sounds of both bands in one amazing show! Stomata’s core trio will be joined by a variety of special guests to debut their brand new album, Crawfish and High Life on The Harris Theater stage. B~Free has shared stages with a variety of major artists, even opening for Janelle Monáe at Summerfest 2018. Her self-produced sophomore album, Ode 2 A Luv Affair LP, was hailed as the #1 Milwaukee Album by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2016.

Stomata: Jay Anderson (saxophone + vocals), Dave Schoepke (drums), John Simons (bass)

http://milwaukeerecord.com/music/public-domain-stomata-performs-alouette In this installment, Stomata applied a new take to "Alouetté." The rendition is new to them too, as the jazz trio had never attempted to play the French-Canadian children's standard before this session. The morbid song about plucking feathers from a bothersome lark was a popular one among American soldiers stationed in France during World War I.

B~Free: B~Free (flute + vocals), Quinten Farr (keyboards), Alex Julien (bass), Jonathan Harris (drums)
