NO COVER 7:00pm Show
For the third installment of Adam Linz’s November residency at Berlin, travel back in time to the moment a twelve-year-old Linz was given a cassette tape of Charles Mingus for Christmas from his bass-playing uncle, Tom Hubbard. Thus opened the doorway to Linz falling in love with the music of Mingus. Look forward to renditions of classic Mingus throwdowns as well as some of the lesser-known gems.
Adam Linz is a well-known bass player in the Twin Cities jazz scene. He co-leads the internationally award-winning group Fat Kid Wednesdays with childhood friends Mike Lewis and JT Bates; the group has toured extensively throughout Europe and North America. Adam has taught at Macalester College, Augsburg College, Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth, and EDAM Music outreach in Paris, and he has given clinics in Chile, Argentina, Seattle, New York, Houston, Germany, and Switzerland. Adam has performed with such jazz greats as Evan Parker, Stanley Turrentine, Milt Jackson, and the electronic artist Dosh.
