Band Members

FRANK TROMPETER is a long-time mainstay of the central Illinois jazz scene, playing regularly in a number of jazz ensembles including his own Frank Trompeter Quartet. Trompeter has also played in experimental groups such as Elevator Shoe and The Untoward Quartet, and was the chief organizer of The Innovators New Music Series in Springfield.

MARK SCHWARTZ is an improvising guitarist & bassist who played with Frank in Untoward Quartet and was also a member of the rock-jazz power trio, Liquid Sun. Along with End Times Trio, he also currently plays in Tin Ghost, an alt-folk band. Schwartz, who often uses objects, metal, toys, and electronics to prepare his guitar and bass, evokes a range of percussive and horn-like tones.

RICHARD GILMAN-OPALSKY is a drummer and percussionist who has recently relocated to Springfield from NYC to take a position as professor of political philosophy at The University of Illinois. In NYC, Gilman-Opalsky was one half of the saxophone and drums duo, Fire&Flux, and has recently recorded with Blaise Siwula and Katsuyuki Itakura.

END TIMES TRIO plays dynamic improvised music that treads a sonic terrain from sparse and melodic to dense, blustery cacophony.
