Collaborative Projects

Bowmanville

Hailing from Chicago, Bowmanville strives to bring the hip sensibilities of Hot Club Jazz from 1930s Paris mingled with the influences born of Chicago’s global crossroads to a wider audience. Led by violinist Ethan Adelsman, with Graham Nelson on harmonica/vocals, Noah Plotkin on drums, Oliver Horton on bass, and Mason Jiller on guitar, the group draws inspiration from diverse musical backgrounds to push the boundaries of their craft, thrilling audiences nationally. Creating a simmering synergy of vibrant bouncing sound that crackles with electric energy, Bowmanville leaves listeners always hungry for more.

Every song has at least one collaborator, some a handful.

Roya Naldi: A Night In June

Roya Naldi specializes in singing classic jazz music of the 1920s and ‘30s, crooning with a style that is romantic, passionate, captivating, and authentic to the time.

Scotland Yard Gospel Choir

Chicago-based chamber pop collective The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir aren't your typical debauched rock stars reveling in a pastiche of self-destructive cliches. Leading a band that's shared the stage with both the Arcade Fire and Ira Glass, Spoon and Dave Eggers, it's clear that lead singer, guitarist, and keyboard player Elia and his scrappy group are comfortable straddling the divide between the debased rock 'n' roll world and the high-minded literati.
