Michael Moss: ROOTS to SHOOTS

Musical aficionados of all types are in for a rare treat when Michael Moss and his band ROOTS to SHOOTS hit Catskill on Saturday evening, July 23, 2022, at 8:00pm for two sets of amazing, innovative jazz in Bridge Street Theatre’s intimate Speakeasy Space, located at 44 West Bridge Street.  For this BST appearance, ROOTS to SHOOTS – Michael Moss (reeds), Alexis Marcelo (piano), Adam Lane (bass), and Ismael Baiz (drums) – will perform a first set including straight-ahead jazz, gospel, the blues, rhythm and blues, and jazz-infused sounds of the Middle East, Brazil and Spain. Their second set will feature the world premiere of composer James Dashow’s groundbreaking new work “Quantum Butterfly/Adjacent Possibles”.

In this immersive electro-acoustic composition, the musicians will circle the audience, improvising off electronic themes emanating from speakers placed on the periphery of the space and enveloping the listeners in sound enhanced by the cozy club-like atmosphere of BST’s Speakeasy. General admission is $15, seating is unreserved, and tickets can be purchased at the door one-half hour prior to the performance or booked in advance online at bridgest.org/moss-tickets/.
