Lisa Mezzacappa's Bait & Switch + Dobson/Wiitala Duo January 16, 2009

Bait & Switch is San Francisco bassist Lisa Mezzacappa's rollicking garage jazz quartet, playing original music inspired by adventurous jazz masters like Ornette Coleman, Henry Threadgill, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Eric Dolphy.  The music funnels free jazz energy and collectivity into finely honed minimalist compositions that exploit the group's amazing chemistry and fierce sense of groove.

Aaron Bennett, saxophones / John Finkbeiner, guitar / Lisa Mezzacappa, bass / Vijay Anderson, drums

Plus a special opening set by Smith Dobson Jr., vibraphone, and John Wiitala, bass.
