Reel Feels Jazz Clinic
Friday, September 15, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Room 56 (lowest level), Center for the Arts
Real Feels is a bass-less trio that includes rising star jazz musicians guitarist Gilad Hekselman, drummer Colin Stranahan and as well as John Raymond on flugelhorn. The band Is unique not only because of their instrumentation but because of the music they play. They do a mix of familiar covers in fresh, new ways (i.e. songs by folks like Paul Simon, Woody Guthrie, Peter Gabriel, Thom Yorke and others) as well as original songs that combine indie rock and electronic influences. They played over 50 CD release dates across the country last year celebrating two album releases, both receiving rave reviews including a ★★★★1/2 star Downbeat review as well as being selected as one of the top jazz albums of 2016 by Stereogum.
