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

Jameson Scriver’s “Reckoner” brings indie rock influences to improvisational music.

His new project “Reckoner” explores these influences within the context of heroic and optimistic themes.
