“Press Quotes”


“Das Vibenbass know jazz history well and they tweak it with enough modern rhythmic dexterity and dynamic surprises to avoid the stodgy whiff of museum curatorship.” Dave Segal – The Stranger

“Economical yet decadent, it’s a mysterious, elegant brand of experimental jazz that would serve as the ultimate soundtrack for the harsh bar at the end of the world. ” -SC Metro

Dinner and Das in Brooklyn

Friday April 23 at 830pm Das Vibenbass will perform at La Piazzetta (442 Graham Avenue, Graham stop on the L) in Brooklyn at this first of its kind event for the restaurant.  Its a rare chance for all you New Yorkers to see DVB stretch out and play three sets of music  while  enjoying fine Italian cuisine and even finer local libations.  We are eagerly anticipating this night and the reservations have been filling quick so we urge you to take that final step of commitment and call 718-349-1627 to get your table.  Have no fear though spots will be still be made available for walk up guests as well.  Remember this show will go for most of the evening so show up when you can.

April 10 Arlenes Grocery!!!

Rad show coming up in the legendary LES haunt Arlenes Grocery on Saturday April 10.  This particular show promises to be monumental in marking the evolution of Das.  Tonight will be the premiere of what could possibly be the best song you have never heard.  The title is Fall of the Subian Empire and is a daring leap into experimental songwriting uniting classical music with jazz improvisation.  I hope all that can attend will, as NYC shows are becoming fewer and farther between.  We play the early set (7pm) so you can still make it out to the club after. 

AGL TRIO to perform on 3/23 in NYC!!!

While Geoff vacations in Seattle…the Das crew joins forces with local baritone sax stud Jarrod Weaver for a night of experimental chaos! Be sure to bring your helmet, drinking shoes, and a change of underpants!!

Baritone Sax – Jarrod Weaver
Tenor Sax – Josh Clifford
Vibes – Justin Sorensen
Drums – JC Bockman
