On Saturday June 1st please join us at the downtown music studio, Music and Movement (120 S. Division, across the street from Skelletones and Vertigo Music), for a tour kickoff and CD release party for Grand Rapids' Avant Jazz supergroup. The band features a membership of local jazz luminaries, music educators, and members of Super Happy Funtime Burlesque. The show is free but CDs will be for sale and donations will be accepted as we are trying to raise money to offset the high gas prices we will encounter as we hit the road for our east coast tour during the month of June.
