Appearing Saturday, Jan. 21 in the jazz room at the Park Central Tavern, 1640 Whitney Avenue, Hamden. Two sets 9:00 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.
BASSOLOGY is a blues-drenched swinging jazz group led by New Haven area bassist, David Chevan. Chevan is the co-founder of The Afro-Semitic Experience. “Bassology is what I like to call my rent party band,” explains Chevan. “Y’know, jazz you can dance to. This group allows me to explore music that grooves hard—we’re playing tunes from straight-ahead swinging jazz to the funky grooves of New Orleans, to pretty much any beat that makes me smile—and I’m with a really great group of players.”
