Showcase Description
Joe Troop's Whirlwind features new, original music by an eclectic ensemble of electric banjo (Joe Troop), flute (Rebecca Kleinmann), viola (Bailey Poesnecker), electric bass (Ramon Garcia), and drum set (Gaston Reggio) inspired by Troop's decade living in Argentina. Each musical number is preceded by some storytelling to add context. The songs may be in English, Spanish, or both.
These fresh sounds explore latin jazz and improvisation, R&B, candombe, bluegrass, chamber, samba, rock and roll, and beyond. There is nothing quite like it.
