Making their Jup debut featuring old-school Jup-alumni Mick Runolfsson, The Jazz Syndrome is a modern jazz guitar trio that plays music from the great American songbook as well as the bop and hard bop eras. You might even hear us fitting in some renditions of 80’s underground and 70’s AM radio hits from time to time. We are musicians from the Oakland art-rock scene who have gotten together to stretch our jazz wings and soar through the wonderfully fun compositions by the masters such as Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane to name a few. We like things grooving and jamming but with a finesse that keeps it all delicately balanced. The musicians in this band may be steeped in the avant-garde but we use this skill sparingly. Just enough to hear yourself saying, “oh that’s interesting, that’s something new”. We are very pleased to be having Rent Romas on saxophone for our Jupiter gig. And also, a very special guest vocalist that will close out each set with Halloween B-side treats!
