Mike Baggetta 3
Mike Baggetta: guitar, live processing
Daniel Kimbro: Bass
Jordan Perlson: Drums
“…vintage twang in service of Americana-meets exploratory Jazz-psych…”
-Rolling Stone
"Guitarist Mike Baggetta bends notes, and his genre, to make music that sounds like life.”
-Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar
“Mike Baggetta makes stealthy, mysterious music … he’s trying to do something personal with collective improvisation without ever getting in the way of beauty.”
-Ben Ratliff, New York Times
“…a kind of post-Frisellian sonic explorer … with his wild whammy-bar articulations, ambient looping and rippling arpeggios … full of subversive surprises, hellacious skronking, string-scraping and a general hornets’ nest of fuzz-toned dissonance”
-Bill Milkowski, DownBeat Magazine / Slate Magazine
“Mike Baggetta is a genre-blurring guitar hero...at the forefront of an army of guitar innovators”
-JazzTimes

Asheville Art Trio
When the originators of the Asheville Original Music series—bassist Mike Holstein and drummer Justin Watt—teamed up with pianist Dr. William Bares (Harvard ethnomusicology Ph.D and professor of music at UNC Asheville) a decade ago to create a working jazz piano trio, the result was a new musical concept that has blurred the lines between art and entertainment, structure and spontaneity. The group has has evolved a sound that combines elements of global music, Americana and jazz in ways that are recognizably artistic and quintessentially Ashevillian.
Asheville Jazz Collective
Asheville Jazz Collective brings together the performing and composing talents of recent transplants Alan Hall (drums, founder) and Josef Butts (basses) with UNCA professors Steve Alford (woodwinds and bass) and Bill Bares (piano and keyboard). A.J.C. has an open-ended policy regarding the styles of jazz we choose to compose and play. Our musical influences range from Ellington to ECM, "The Bad Plus“ to Bach, Tomasz Stanko to Tito Puente, and Ornette Coleman to Olivier Messiaen. We always aim for a richly felt performance of originals and standards for our audience.
Founder Alan Hall's previous California group “Ratatet”, has released two albums on Ridgeway Records (Arctic and Heroes, Saints and Clowns), and has recieved rave reviews. “Kwirkestra” his most recent group formed at the beginning of Covid, has released three music videos on YouTube and includes an international cast of his musical peers in a virtual musical format.

Jay Sanders' Sinfonietta
Come listen as Sinfonietta dives into leviathan sounds; exploring the textures and dynamics of the deep. For even jazz has the power to Awaken the Cacodaemon, chase the Flyswatter, revel in the MorningTide, and elevate the Seagull to resplendent heights. When we are Playin' In The Yard we are all Pioneers.
