This new collaborative trio from guitarist Chet Zenor, drummer Andy Danstrom, and bass player Jakob Heinemann explores and transforms the music of the American West, unearthing songs from a near century-old book of obscure and mostly unrecorded folk tunes, plus other covers and originals. The trio remains rooted in the timeless themes and emotions found in the music, while adapting it to the contemporary world.

Every Wednesday, we present Chicago’s top jazz artists in a lively atmosphere, full of cocktail-shaking and spirited conversation.
