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.

Pavel Wlosok Quartet
The unique sound of the Pavel Wlosok Quintet is an intoxicating blend of jazz traditions including swing, modal, and Latin jazz, along with influences of contemporary twentieth-century music, World music, and Czech folk music. Most of the repertoire is based on original compositions, exciting new arrangements of jazz standards, as well as personal takes on traditional styles of modern jazz ranging from the pre-swing era, through swing, be-bop and cool, to modal and beyond. The Czech-born American pianist, award-winning composer and arranger, educator, music engineer, producer and photographer Pavel Wlosok invites you to an evening of pure, improvised modern Jazz music, full of exciting musical colours, various rhythmic feels and grooves, and spontaneous collective improvisation.
