10:00 PM Bad Touch

Bad Touch, a new music collective formed by Loren Stillman (saxophone), Nate Radley (guitar), Gary Versace (organ) and Ted Poor (drums).

In a day and age of predominantly solo careers and a diluted concept of what it is to be a “band,” the members of Bad Touch have decidedly set out to create something different. As sidemen, we have each collaborated, recorded and traveled around the world with some of the most established names in jazz; including Bill Frisell, Paul Motian, Cuong Vu, Chris Potter, Ben Monder, Billy Hart, John Scofield, Maria Schneider, John Abercrombie and Charlie Haden. However, it is in a setting of mutual commitment and friendship that the music holds the most potential and is the most fulfilling.

Bad Touch will record for the renowned German jazz record label Pirouet (www.pirouetrecords.com) in June 2008. A shorter self produced EP is forthcoming this month.
