Joe Policastro Trio Their unique blend of jazz has an acoustic aesthetic. Featuring Dave Miller on guitar, Mikel Avery on drums with leader Joe Policastro on bass, this alternative jazz trio puts its spin on anything it touches. Their last release, Nothing Belongs Here, blends original tunes as well as bold reconstructions of covers. Chris Greene Quartet is lead by saxophonist Chris Greene. The quartet grounds itself with jazz but incorporates elements of funk, hip-hop, reggae reflecting their deep and rich musical backgrounds. The band has been on the Chicago jazz scene since 2005 and has 8 released titles under their name. In addition to Chris, the band features Damian Espinosa on keyboards, Marc Piane on bass and drummer Steve Corley.
