The Arsonists and The Jon Hatamiya Quintet

A Night of Fervent (Post) Jazz

 Describing themselves as a “post-jazz shred fest” with promised results of “ecstatic eardrum immolation”, the Arsonists’ energy and intensity are immediately clear in both mentality and performance. Melding East Coast jazz conservatory training with an open minded and passionate approach to composition, they fuse together a diverse array of influences including contemporary jazz, neo-Caribbean dancehall, and funk-metal grooves. The unified sound emerging from these disparate influences is at once idiosyncratic and organic, and above all extremely powerful.

Mat Muntz – Double Bass
Max Holmberg – Drums

Sharing the night, Northern California native and New York based trombonist/composer Jon Hatamiya leads his quintet featuring some of the finest up-and-coming instrumentalists of Sacramento and the Bay Area. Emphasizing original compositions, strong musical interaction, and heavy grooves, Hatamiya and his quintet mix jazz with rock and electronica for a high energy musical experience.
