The Joe Olson Trio at Creative Changes

Submitted by libbey_paul on Monday, 11 May 2009

Jazz Trio

The Joe Olson Trio - Teen Jazz Improv  (For all ages)

Fri, May 15, 7-10 PM  $5/donation

Creative Changes - 140 Harrison

 

Joe Olson is amazing.  He loves music.  He’s musically versatile … rock, ballads, musician, singer, writer, producer …  and now creates a Teen Jazz Improv with fellow musicians Stephen Schmuldt and Justin Casas.  This promises to be a great groove … guitar, electric piano and bass improvising while playing off each other in this teenage version of jazz improv.  The possibilities are endless.  These guys have been playing together for three years and are really tight.

Some of their gigs include:

  • Reggies Rock Club, Downtown Chicago
  • Clearwater Theatre, West Dundee
  • #1 Ranked 2009 Battle of the Bands at Glenbard South, Lombard
  • #1 Ranked 2008 & 2007 Battle of the Bands at Lake Park High, Roselle
