About the event
Hailed by Downbeat for its “deft analysis of choice repertoire,” and by the Chicago
Reader for its “diversity of approaches to all kinds of source material,” the JOE
POLICASTRO TRIO is a forward-thinking, Chicago-based jazz trio led by bassist Joe
Policastro featuring guitarist Dave Miller and drummer Mikel Avery. While firmly rooted in
jazz, the band’s open-minded, inclusive nature draws upon a wide array of musical styles
and sources while still keeping the aesthetic of an acoustic trio intact.
