LUKE POLIPNICK is our Monday Night Jazz Resident and Guest Curator for the month of April!

Luke Polipnick is a Chicago-based guitarist/multi-instrumentalist and composer with deep ties to the Twin Cities creative music community. He is an active participant in the experimental/improvised music, jazz, pop, and extreme metal scenes in Chicago and beyond. His band Abhorrent Expanse (Tim Glenn, Erik Fratzke, Brian Courage) celebrates their debut album this month.

This Monday features two sets with:

Chris Bates’ Red 5 is the main outlet for Chris Bates’ compositional explorations. The original lineup was a chordless quintet and released the album ‘New Hope’ in 2012. Now expanded to a septet the group continues to be a beautiful outlet for Bates’ musical hodge-podge of influences. From Africa, India, funk, prog, and deep jazz Red 5 plays rhythmically and melodically fun music that allows for improvisational exploration. Two saxophones, trumpet, trombone, bass, guitar and drums create a mini big band sound that expresses Chris Bates’ musical voice.
