Mitcheltree/Wallmann Duo Performance at the Laskin Jazz Masterclass series, Wisconsin Conservatory of Music (MKE)

  • Wisconsin Conservatory of Music (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Renowned jazz musicians Dennis Mitcheltree (saxophone) and Johannes Wallmann (piano)—longtime friends and musical collaborators—will present a free masterclass as part of our Laskin Jazz Masterclass series at our Prospect Avenue location.

Mitcheltree and Wallmann were both long-term veterans of the New York jazz scene, and their musical partnership originates in the New York of the late 1990’s, when Mitcheltree, on a recommendation by Jim McNeely, recruited Wallmann to join his quartet, which was about to embark on a two-week tour of the Midwest. The two immediately hit it off, and twenty-seven years later, Mitcheltree and Wallmann’s collaborations now spans six quartet tours of the U.S., two duo and quartet tours of Germany, countless other performances in venues throughout North America, three albums led by Mitcheltree (including his 2022 release Golden Rule) and Wallmann’s 2015 album Love Wins, as well as many joint educational and festival workshops throughout the U.S.

Johannes Wallmann 50th Birthday Bash with Precarious Towers and special guests

Johannes Wallmann 50th Birthday Bash with Precarious Towers and special guests

Johannes Wallmann, piano; Sharel Cassity, alto saxophone; Mitchell Shiner, vibraphone; John Christensen, bass; Hannah Johnson, drums & Special Guests Arun Luthra, tenor saxophone; and Russ Johnson, trumpet

$20 cover. But tickets here or cash at the door.

Award-winning pianist/composer and UW Jazz Professor Johannes Wallmann celebrates his 50th birthday with a performance by Precarious Towers, a Midwestern high-octane collaborative all-star band founded by Wallmann and featuring Downbeat ‘rising star’ alto saxophonist and flutist Sharel Cassity (Chicago), Madison bassist John Christensen, and Milwaukee vibraphonist Mitchell Shiner and drummer Hannah Johnson (filling in for Devin Drobka).

All are accomplished band leaders and recording artists, and their sophomore album Ten Stories, which Cadence Magazine's Larry Hollis named one of his 2023 Top Ten New Releases, features compositions by each of the quintet’s members. Moods range from fiery to introspective, but the common threads are joy and collaboration. Jazz In Europe calls Ten Stories, "a collective musical odyssey that unites five exceptionally talented musicians [...] a testament to the power of collaboration and creative synergy."

Joining this concert as special guests will be trumpeter Russ Johnson (recording artist and Director of Jazz Studies at UW-Parkside) and Arun Luthra (New York saxophonist and the newest addition to the UW jazz faculty).

  • "the group dynamic is near perfection." — All About Jazz

  • “This Midwestern five-piece is tight, following interesting ideas while never veering too far from a clear, straightahead sound. […] All five members are strong composers.”  — Downbeat Magazine

  • "Lots of sparks flying in all the right directions." — Jazz Weekly
