PLOTZ! California Tour 2012 October 19, 2012

“Dazzling progressive-jazz Balkan music.”
– Josef Woodard, Santa Barbara News-Press

“A s***-hot beam of musical illumination.”
– David Cotner, Ventura County Reporter

“PLOTZ! is the unlikely bastard son of Ivo Papsov and Black Sabbath…festive heavy Bulgarian jazz rock, catchy as hell and quite accessible overall.”
– Monsieur Délire’s Blog

“This is not the typical Klezmer-inspired group playing standards from generations past, but master musicians blending many different genres at once, with a highly developed jazz and improvisational vocabulary.”
— Culver City News

Exploding off the stage in jubilant musical celebration, PLOTZ! tips its hat to styles, stories, and influences from all over the world, while maintaining firm roots in Balkan folk music, jazz and rock.

PLOTZ! makes its Bay Area debut in style at the world-famous music and dance hall, Ashkenaz! On this special occasion, Ashkenaz will be hosting a traditional Balkan Dance class to start kick off the festivities, and Fanfare Zambaleta will take the party up a notch. When PLOTZ! hits the stage the roof’s gettin’ blown off, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to catch PLOTZ! in action!

PLOTZ! features:
Daniel Rosenboom - trumpet
Gavin Templeton - alto saxophone
Brian Walsh - clarinet and baritone saxophone
Jake Vossler - electric guitar
Orest Balaban - bass
Austin Wrinkle - drums
