You have to experience Gritty City Bang Bang! The brainchild of Jonathan Bass, this Memphis-based trio is spreading jammy goodness on buttery grooves while holding strong to the traditional ingredients of jazz and blues. They bring a fusion of original compositions and standards to the table at which all are welcome. Bass is a longtime Memphis musician who is an in-demand sideman, teacher, and leader of his own creative endeavors. He is joined by two Memphis-based musicians, Carl Caspersen, a first call, session bass player and Mike Assad,  a household name for drummers who is on faculty at the University of Memphis, Rhodes College, and Visible Music College.
