New Jazz arrives in Arlington

CMS is proud to present! Jeff Platz’s New Root System: Jeff Platz (guitar) Brendan Carniaux (tenor saxophone, reeds) Scott Getchell (trumpet) Kit Demos (bass) Max Goldman (drums) $15, $10 for students New Root System has been performing together since 2023 with a focus on improvised music and original compositions. In 2024 the ensemble performed as a featured group in Stephen Drury’s Enchanted Circle series at New England Conservatory of Music. Currently the group is recording their first album scheduled for release in the spring 2025. In April of 2025 New Root System will return to NEC to perform excerpts from composer Cornelius Cardew’s work, Treaties. This performance will take place in Jordan Hall in conjunction with Mr. Drury’s Callithumpian consort. This is a return by CMS to Arlington just outside of Cambridge after a successful debut there last summer. A number of creative musicians reside there including trumpeter Scott Gretchell performing tonight with the New Root System, in an attempt to have Arlington recognize them and hear them and creative music not often presented in the city. Metro Boston is invited to attend this New England aggregation, not heard anywhere nearby!! This program is supported in part by a grant from the Arlington Commission for the Arts &amp; Culture, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. <a href="http://www.jeffplatz.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMEhIQ0c4Y1FIR3JBRGxoMAEeLobD_6JnNAmmpZfqXCbZxEBSFCbMkjr5M7g8YvNoAgFGV9BE7MM6RtmGTWw_aem_TnDN1Nr6jiO21AfmvDaSug">www.jeffplatz.com</a>
