Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance of psychedelic, avant-garde jazz by Frog Squad.
Tickets: $10
Doors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm
Frog Squad is an outlet for creative expression and sound exploration based in Memphis, TN. Their songs pull heavily on improvisation within loose structures, creating a psychedelic, avant-garde jazz sound.
The group curates and arranges songs from artists such as Theloious Monk, Erik Satie, George Coleman, and Horace Silver, and bandleader David Collins composes eclectic, original music. Overall, Frog Squad gently defies the standards of what defines “good music” by composing song templates with experimental elements.
Frog Squad currently releases a new live recording every six months. In Fall of 2019, Frog Squad released “Solar System in Peabody,” a full-length work written by Khari Wynn and David Collins and funded by UrbanArts Commission. The Memphis Flyer has called it “one of the most incredible pieces of music that came across our threshold this year.”
