Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for the Bidwell/Marshall Project! Stephen Bidwell – Drums Jaron Marshall – Piano Erik Telford – Trumpet Matthew Maldonado – Saxophone Andre Hayward – Trombone Liam Odell – Bass Stephen Bidwell and Jaron Marshall have been anchoring the rhythm section of Austin’s Grammy-nominated psychedelic-soul juggernaut Black Pumas since the band’s meteoric rise in 2019. Outside the Pumas' world tour circuit, the two have long bonded over a mutual love of hard bop and funky early-'60s Blue Note cuts: music that grooves as hard as it swings. When their schedules align, they call up a few trusted players and put together a setlist that leans into the soulful side of the jazz canon. This project is a nod to their roots and a chance to stretch in a different direction with deep pocket, deep cuts, and no filler.
