The SAD band is not about sad music. We even have a song called I’m Not Sad (which is a little sad). It’s called SAD because the band members are Sam Williams, Art Lande, and Dru Heller; and on November 10th, the band will be performing a free concert at Metro State University. But on that date we won't be SAD because we'll be joined by two good friends, Johannes Weidenmueller (bass) and Shane Endsley (trumpet). So, we'll actually be SAD+.
SAD and SAD+ play new Art Lande compositions as well as other modern jazz originals. This group is full of shared band experiences and recording projects over many years (Flex, Flex+, Russian Dragon Band, various duos and trios), Shane‘s Kneebody group, Johannes' Kenny Werner Trio, Sam’s quintet The Democracy, all figure in somehow. Our teaching experiences at MSU, CU, CalArts, DU and the New School in NYC are also shared alliances.
This concert celebrates many years of friendship and musical connection, yet we have never tried this quintet. Please come to listen or you might be a little sad.

As we approach the release of Marguerite’s new recording Inner Circle, which includes this trio as well as many other Denver greats like Eric Gunnison and Dru Heller, we're offering the audience a chance to hear some of the music that will appear on this highly anticipated recording. The evening features 3 Art Lande originals (with his lyrics) and music by Stevie Wonder, Bill Evans, Horace Silver, Ornette Coleman, Ted Dameron, Jimmy Rowles, and Rogers and Hart. There will be duos (AKA "bass and face"), trios, and even a couple pieces as a quartet when acclaimed vocalist Judy Niemack will join Marguerite center stage.
Marguerite Juenemann is Colorado’s premier jazz vocal improviser, from her time with the in-demand group Rare Silk to her new century duo album with Art honoring Fats Waller titled Nightwind, to the soon-to-be-released album of new gems on Inner Circle, she is outstanding.
Join us for an evening of great songs from a slightly different list and featuring Marguerite's unique and keen vocals combined with Art's intriguing piano and Bill's rich, lustrous bass — a memorable evening of wonderful songs from musicians who really know how to bring them to life.
