AJS Presents: Jeff Lofton "Electric Thang" - Midweek at Monks

Wed, Jun 12

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for AJS Presents: Jeff Lofton "Electric Thang" - Midweek at Monks! Jeff Lofton - Trumpet Lex Chabraja - Keys Darin Layne - Guitar    Alex Freeman - Bass Steve Mankenberg - Drums In the spirit of early electric Miles Davis, stretching out on convincing interpretations of showcases from both Davis, popular tunes and Lofton originals, the Jeff Lofton Electric Thang is a jazz funk-rock fusion extravaganza.  "Listen up Miles Davis fans..." from the Austin American-Statesman and "... channels Miles Davis..." from the Daily Texan . "Born in Germany and raised in South Carolina, trumpeter Jeff Lofton has risen as a cornerstone of the Austin scene since landing 10 years ago. He switches easily from NOLA swing to the birth of cool, exploring jazz-funk with the Jeff Lofton Electric Thang and earning rave reviews for his Miles Davis tribute performances with the Jeff Lofton Quartet." - Austin Chronicle ——— Make a donation to be recognized: Supporter Level: Donate $50 or more, and we'll mention your name as a Supporter of the "AJS Presents: Midweek @ Monks" series, as part of the mission to creating more sustaining performance opportunities for Austin jazz musicians!
