July 5 ~ WE Six

From hard bop to world beats, original compositions to soulful standards, We Six explores the full range of jazz in their straight-ahead style. A consistent favorite of festivals and clubs, this group is currently in its tenth season of residency at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music where the members teach and perform regularly in concert. We Six features trumpeter Eric Jacobson, tenor saxophonist Eric Schoor, guitarist Paul Silbergleit, pianist Mark Davis, bassist Jeff Hamann, and drummer Dave Bayles. They have appeared in concert with jazz luminaries such as Charles McPherson, Slide Hampton, Eric Alexander and Brian Lynch and can be heard on their CD “Bird Say.”

First Set will feature all original music from WE Six & the second set will feature a Soul Jazz set as gets soulful and funky with the music of Lou Donaldson, Blue Mitchell, Grant Green and others.
