Where does the road lead for jazz?
The Pabst was abuzz with excitement as Ahmad Jamal prepared to take stage and his audience sat ready to be captivated. Jamal is well known to jazz fans and an influence on his peers. But, as popular music moves along, he and the other artists that created classic albums are fading away from the spotlight.

Jazz clubs upped old Milwaukee's hipster quotient
Remember when there were jazz clubs in Milwaukee? Not just one or two places, but a whole scene of venues providing a stage not only for local musicians but for the giants of the music, those cats who would later become jazz legends? No, sadly, most of us don't.

Annette Foat and Tomasz Kiebzak

Paintings by Kiebzak and Foat present a bold interplay of weighted color in serial abstractions. Kiebzak's textural abstracts are informed by his cultural experiences as a jazz flugelhorn player and photographer. In Foat's subtle search for meaning, color acts as both space and light to embody soul. Featuring original jazz compositions by Kiebzak. 

Gallery Night and Day receptions will also be held Oct. 16 from 6 to 9 p.m., and again on Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, please visit the website linked above.
