MON, FEB 4: zBug reBooting and Twin Talk - Oakland Freedom Jazz Society | Studio Grand, Oakland, California
zBug is the premiere industrial jazz unit that presents structured improvisational compositional music sets, based on architecture.
• David Leikam - NS Design CR6 cello, Moog synthesizers, acoustic piano
• Sheila Bosco - drums, percussion, keyboards
• Timothy Orr - drums, percussion
• Patrick Cress - saxophones, electronics
Since forming in 2012 Chicago’s Twin Talk has steadily drifted from the conventions of the saxophone trio. While reedist Dustin Laurenzi, bassist-singer Katie Ernst, and drummer Andrew Green are deeply rooted in jazz tradition, they’ve spent their time on the band stage together making their music more elastic, spontaneous, and open, embracing new inspirations without stifling the improvisational heart of their work.

Timothy Orr will be joining zBug again on drums and percussion as well as with one or two additional members (TBD) in the new fixed lineup formation going into 2019.
