July 22, Six Foot Love Concert Series: Monks of Saturnalia


The Wild Detectives

Thurs July 22, 2021
The Wild Detectives Six Foot Love Backyard Concert Series, Monks of Saturnalia
Doors at 7pm, music starts at 7:30-9pm - two sets of music
Tickets, $10 , limited tickets available

Monks of Saturnalia is a jazz ensemble taking influence from post-bop, free jazz, rock, and Mingus-inspired harmony. Led by composer Gregg Prickett (Unconscious Collective, Trio du Sang, Ronald Shannon Jackson Decoding Society, etc…) with a rotating cast of seasoned musicians since the inception of the project in 1998.

"My goal is to stretch and extend the relationships between melody, harmony, rhythm, and concept, making a living vehicle for the group and the listeners to drive and ride to places they haven't explored before," Prickett explains about his approach to the compositions. "Much like Chaos Theory, slight variables in the musical improvisations can make an impact on the structure of the pieces. Every performance becomes an opportunity to explore a new direction within the confines of the composition.”

Gregg Prickett - guitar
Drew Phelps - bass
Jeffrey Barnes - reed/ woodwinds
Steve Brown - tenor sax
Chris Holmes - percussion
The outdoor concert on July 22 at Wild Detectives will be a re-birth of the project after the global shift of the 2020 pandemic with two sets of music starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 each. Please join us for this special event
