About
A monthly feature at JCS, bassist Chris Bates and a round table of friends perform original compositions and collective improvisations.
I’ve been leading the charge every 2nd Wednesday of the month down at Jazz Central Studios. I like the adventure of playing with different combinations of musicians. Each person inspires and challenges me to take the music farther than I imagined. I have purposely chosen to collaborate with people outside of the regular bands I play in so that the music can go someplace new every time. I love the steady bands I play in but I also think it’s important for the artistic process to find new paths to tread so when I come back and walk through my old neighborhood I feel like I’m seeing it with fresh eyes. Magica Improvisado aims to harness that initial spontaneous groove that musicians find and ride it to new heights! Come and explore with us in this informal setting. – Chris Bates...
