Swagler, Slaughter, Jost and Morrison to Celebrate Album Release Thursday, February 7 at Jazz at the Bistro
Four St. Louis musicians known for their busy live-performing schedules will celebrate the release of their first collaborative recording with performances at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 7 at Jazz at the Bistro.
Rough Stuff is the first album jointly credited to saxophonist Jason Swagler, guitarist Eric Slaughter, bassist Nick Jost, and drummer Marty Morisson, who have worked together frequently in various local venues, sometimes under Swagler's name, sometime using Slaughter's.
The album (pictured) features nine tracks, including original compositions by members of the group and an interpretation of Charles Mingus' “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," and currently is on sale as a digital download from both Amazon and iTunes.
Tickets for the album release event at Jazz at the Bistro, which will include a digital copy of Rough Stuff, are $20 for general admission, $10 for students, and on sale now via Metrotix.
