The ENGINES is a collaborative quartet founded in the spring of 2005. The group began as trio, featuring several mainstays of the Chicago improvised music scene: Dave Rempis on saxophones, Nate McBride on bass, and Tim Daisy on drums. In the spring of 2006, trombonist Jeb Bishop was added to the group for one concert. The dynamic of this lineup worked so well that Bishop immediately became a regular member of the band. Since then, they've been honing their skills across Chicago at many of the venues associated with creative music including the Empty Bottle, Hideout, Elastic, Hungry Brain, and the Velvet Lounge.

AZUL is the new improvised music trio of three of Charlottesville's most creative instrumentalists - trumpeter John D'earth, drummer Brian Caputo and Chapman Stick player Greg Howard. Their music draws on both Western jazz and blues and Eastern and Middle Eastern rhythms and harmonies, with healthy dose of rock and cosmic sonics. Their music is sometimes groove-oriented, sometimes free-form, and always adventurous, with usurprising interpretations of jazz standards also thrown into the mix.
