Hello, new subscribers!

This update helps 
clarify the Alt Jazz Ark 

Corpuses buzz

Tonight the 
Corpus Y Quartet
plays at Mercury cafe

Saturday we present
a version of the 
Corpus X Quartet
at Comstock Saloon

which replaces my 
usual last Saturday 
at Sheba for October
 

Meanwhile the Sheba
quartet continues 
every Sunday

I was hoping to have a 
link to a political substack 
post on the theme: 
The Least Important 
Election Of Our Lifetime

Since every four years we 
get to make a choice
between two unpalatable 
sides of the same regime

This time, both sides are 
running to be Republican

Look for the link 
next week hopefully 

in November's post

And since none of them 
will impeach SCOTUS

Come jam with us 
on Halloween with 
Fuck The Supreme Court!
 

Alt Jazz Ark 
Corpus X Quartet
 

Our first live show
headlining at the 
Comstock Saloon

We present original 
material in the Jazz 
tradition

     Elaine Alt - clarinet & baritone saxophone
     Benjamin Paul - piano
     Christopher Amberger - bass
     Otto Huber - drums

As a result of a mixup 
when booking this date 
earlier this summer, 
personnel has shifted

About half our our 
material is from this 
summer's recording session
featuring Christopher

The other half is 

material we introduced
for this speakeasy 
style period jazz

Which features Otto, 
the original drummer on 
several of these songs

Benjamin normally plays 
with the Corpus Y Quartet
so we are playing with 
cross-pollination

The Weekend Crew at 
Sheba Jazz Lounge

Sundays featuring
a quartet presentation of
Manny's Journey in Jazz

     Manny Berry - piano
     Elaine Alt - baritone saxophone
     Rob Bassinette - bass
     Garry Williams - drums

Expanding to a quintet
on the last Saturday, 
featuring  

    Danny Cao - trumpet

There is no cover 
but when you are
loving the vibes 
you know what to do

Fuck The Supreme Court!
Jam session

Bring yer axe and sit in 
with the house band
   
On Halloween we'll have

    Elaine Alt - baritone saxophone
    Caroline Chung - bass 
    Sonya Trejo - drums

The house band for the

November jam will be 

soon announced on this 

very same bat channel

Also, I just heard that 
Maya, the wife of 
Mercury's owner Nick, 
recently passed away

So we will 
honor her spirt 
among so many others 
no longer with us
