The local quartet Charged Particles will present a two-hour concert called Jazz with a Spark! The most exciting and creative music being made today crosses stylistic boundaries and blends diverse traditions to create engaging new sounds. Charged Particles features three of the country's virtuosos doing just that in the acoustic and electric jazz arena. Murray Low is a keyboard wizard with dazzling Latin-jazz technique and imaginative improvisational skills. Doug Pohorski is a Bay Area bassist, recording engineer, producer, and composer, who has been performing on the upright and electric bass for over 35 years with a host of instrumentalists and vocalists. Along with fiery drummer Jon Krosnick, these players are making some of the most electrifying jazz in the country today. This concert also features SF- based jazz saxophonist Tod Dickow, who performs in a wide variety of settings ranging from big bands to small combos.
