A little information about the band:
Double bassist, vocalist, composer, and arranger Blake Shaw brings a wide variety of inspiration to the table. In his own project, The Blake Shaw Quintet (BSQ), he not only showcases his original compositions, but also adds a mix of jazz-influenced arrangements of recognizable tunes. From The Animals to Nirvana and Ray Charles to Sarah Vaughn, genre mixing is Shaw's inspiration. BSQ also contains Nolan Schroeder, Ryan Smith, Chris Jensen, and Dan Padley. Take a listen.

The ‘Ceptet is an exciting project featuring original music by bassist David Altemeier, pianist Jason Danielson, and trombonist Brian Martin, all former Northern Iowa jazz students. The band covers a wide range of fresh and classic styles and features some of the area’s finest musicians from their home base of Noce. Featuring four horns and rhythm section, the band provides an expressive vehicle in a setting that combines the best of small and large ensembles. Here’s more from The 'Ceptet.
