JOSH GRANOWSKI is our Monday Night Jazz Resident and Guest Curator for the month of June!
*(( starting June 13th ))*

Longtime Midwesterner Josh Granowski has been making music in MN for more than a decade. He has played upright bass and bass guitar/fx with notable forward thinking improvisers/composers Davu Seru, George Cartwright, Dave King, DeVon Gray, and many other luminaries in and out of the Twin Cities. He also frequently performs in groups that specialize in earlier jazz/americana styles like The Southside Aces, Butch Thompson, Patty and the Buttons, Mumblin' Drew's Oldfangled Orchestrators, and Bobby J's West Bank Social Club. Tap dance festivals, basement noise shows, klezmer, 60's soul, countless americana acts.......Josh is not a stranger. He loves to make music and he is always open to something new.

Since the pandemic, he has enjoyed getting back to cultivating original/improvisational music in addition to recording with Marsgarb (a new band with friends Jenna Wyse and Chris Hepola), and playing dive bars with new dystopian space party pioneers The Real Chuck Norad.

Notes from the curator:

"To begin the evening, a new quintet playing new music and improvisation. I have had the privilege of playing many times with Michelle, George, and Noah but this will be the first time playing with Ivan for George and I. Very excited about this particular group of individuals.

Afterwards, we will continue with the one and only Jeremy Ylvisaker.

And to conclude, George and myself will play with Dave King aka..... King Cartwright Granowski. An improvising trio to keep you guessing. We haven't played together for quite some time so our reunion is sure to potent.

The chance for a mash-up of sorts or a special mystery guest is high. Expect the unexpected?

Thanks, JKG."

Cellist and Composer Michelle Kinney is a lifelong improviser inspired by collaborative cross-genre work and non-traditional contexts for the cello.

Michelle’s current projects include Maithree – The Music of Friendship, a collaboration led by South Indian Veena virtuoso Nirmala Rajasekar. Michelle also leads her own bands, most recently What We Have Here, performing her original compositions.

Other Twin Cities music artists requesting Michelle’s cello contributions include Dylan Hicks, Aby Wolf, Zeitgeist, Queen Drea, Chastity Brown, George Cartwright, Noah Ophoven Baldwin, Adam Zhaller, Cody
McKinney, among many others. She also composes and performs regularly for theater and dance.

While living in NYC for 13 years, Michelle was lucky enough to work with some of the most respected innovators in new music, including the unforgettable Butch Morris, Henry Threadgill, Jason Hwang, Brandon Ross, Stomu Takeishi, Bun Ching Lam & Shi-Zheng Chen.

Noah Ophoven-Baldwin is an American composer and cornetist.
