Luke Stewart’s Silt Trio (with Chad Taylor and Brian Settles)
Doors at 7 pm; $10A casual observer of the Washington D.C. music scene could easily get the mistaken impression that there are four or five guys coincidentally named Luke Stewart playing leading roles in a disparate array of musical communities. In fact, Stewart is a singular, uncontainable artist whose work as a bassist, producer and all-around mover and shaker has deepened and extended the District’s legacy as a hotbed for creative music. Given his many pursuits, a single album can only capture a small portion of Stewart’s oceanic sonic continuum, but The Bottom offers a deep dive into a particularly inviting pool with his loose and limber trio featuring Chicago drum legend Chad Taylor and powerhouse D.C. saxophonist Brian Settles.

Battle Trance is a genre-defying ensemble with the unlikely configuration of four tenor saxophonists: Travis Laplante, Patrick Breiner, Matthew Nelson, and Jeremy Viner. They recently released their third record of compositions by band leader Travis Laplante that straddle the line between Contemporary Classical music and avant-garde jazz. Each album, properly viewed as a single, complete work, evolves gradually, using novel textures facilitated by the simultaneous circular-breathing of multiple saxophonists. Their first record was filled with hypnotic drones and ominous themes, whereas the second record was more gentle and even a bit nostalgic or wistful in atmosphere. Given the incredible range of the first two releases, you can be sure they’ll once again be bringing something completely unique.
