Jack Grassel Superax Trio

Brand new cd release!!!
Ghost Ridge
Finally, a great recording of this trio playing at it's best featuring the unbelievable drumming that is unique to Dane. Recorded live at the Cuda Cafe 4-22-06. The music draws from the entire range of jazz tradition, including bebop, modern, latin, ballads, and free improvisation. Jack sums it up nicely, "We put the history and future of music in the blender and play that."
Read a review of a Superax Trio concert.
Jack and Kirk have spent many years playing and perfecting the "super-ax", an instrument has both bass and guitar strings which allow them to take turns soloing and comping for each other. When one solos, the other complements with chords on the guitar section and lines on the bass section, eliminating the need for a bass player.
The Live at the Uptowner cd is a great example of the jazz mayhem that occurs every 3rd Sunday at The Uptowner in Milwaukee, WI. This recording features the outstanding drumming of Ernie Adams (Al DiMeola.)
