If you’re familiar with the arts organization Table & Chairs, it should be of no surprise to you that this performance will be an experiment. This evening, we are acknowledging that jazz is fluid and that its presentation and audience are ever-evolving.
Expect a challenge. Expect to think. Expect to engage. Expect nothing.
The Table & Chairs showcase will feature evolving installation work throughout the evening in between the performers sets. This will explore a world of sensors, computers, electronic music & dance. Audience should expect to use Beach Balls to transform audio and video landscapes throughout the room. That’s correct. Beach Balls.

Vader Tots w/ Darren Palmer
VADER TOTS is a duo comprised of a bass and drums. Tasty, crispy, deep-fried Rhythms with a structured, fun, jam-like chaos and incessant unrelenting groove. Featuring Max Benoit on bass and Dio Jean-Baptiste on drums. They will be joined by visual artist Darren Palmer
Marcin Paczkowski with Ivan Arteaga
Marcin Paczkowski and Ivan Arteaga collaborate with Mariah Davis from Mess Collective to present a new piece for accelerometers, conducted sound, dance and saxophone. Feats of magic are sure to abound throughout this exploratory work.
MESS Collective
MESS is a collaborative performance ensemble that was founded by Amelia May Coulter, Mariah Davis, and Haley Freedlund in 2015. Their work is inspired by queer theory, liberation politics, social situations, personal storytelling, gender & sexuality, and finding new ways of relating to themselves and others. As a group, they co-create scores as rough templates for interactive, improvisational, and durational work. Featuring - Amelia Coulter - trombone, Haley Freelund - trombone, Mariah Davis - dance, spoken word
Bad Luck
Bad Luck is a 10-year collaboration between Seattle-based musicians Chris Icasiano on drums and Neil Welch on saxophone/electronics. With four albums under their belt, Bad Luck has created an incredibly diverse array of music — no small feat in the heavily trodden world of drum/saxophone duos. Their melodies, improvisations and compositions are constructed from the ground up, creating a band sound much larger than the sum of its parts.
Hoop
Soft-grunge. Seattle. Recently dubbed by The Stranger to possess, “magical guitar lines and introspective lyrics that tug gently on [the] most sensitive heart strings,” hoop’s brand of dream pop should win over fans of 90’s luminaries like; The Breeders, My Bloody Valentine and Eric’s Trip. Featuring Caitlin Roberts, Pamela Santiago, Leena Joshi and Ingrid Chiles.
