Reedman John Ellis & Playwright Andy Bragen Embark On 'The Ice Siren' at The Jazz Gallery

Emra Islek
John Ellis

 

This Saturday night, join John Ellis, Andy Bragen, and me in a pre-concert conversation about their new jazz opera before the 11-piece jazz chamber ensemble performs their Jazz Gallery commission featuring vocalists Gretchen Parlato and Miles Griffith.

 

The short discussion (which begins at 7:30pm) will serve as an essential guide and prelude for a riveting concert experience. The talk will be recorded in front of a live audience and released in a future podcast episode of The Checkout around the time of The Ice Siren’s commercial release on Parade Light Records, March 20.

Learn more about The Ice Siren, information about The Checkout at The Jazz Gallery conversation series, and where to purchase tickets here.
