Pianist Michael Cain, bassist Ted Olsen, and drummer Adam Nussbaum present two sets of jazz infused with R&B, soul, and contemporary influences. Special guests Barbara Cohen (vocals) and Terrell X (beatboxing, spoken word) add a dynamic edge to an evening of vibrant improvisation and genre-blending music.

Drummer Adam Harder Nussbaum is a core member of the Twin Cities music community, performing with groups like the Jake Baldwin Quartet and his own quintet.

Barbara Cohen, a genre-spanning singer, composer, and producer, has worked with Orbital, Air, and led the band Brother Sun, Sister Moon. Terrell X is a boundary-pushing artist fusing jazz, hip-hop, and live looping into powerful, expressive performances.
