Bipolar : a jazz quintet

With Jed Feuer on trumpet + flügelhorn, Craig Swanson at the piano, Stephanie Long on soprano + alto saxophones, flute + piccolo, David Ostrem on double bass, and Robert C. Kelly on drums, Bipolar is the newest, most unusual quintet on the jazz scene today.

Bipolar draws from the 18th and 19th, not just the 20th and 21st centuries, for many of its tunes creating unexpected and exciting results. Pieces such as Faure's Pavane, Bach's B minor Prelude, Debussy's Passepied, Ravel's Pavane For a Dead Princess, Beethoven's Op. 109 Sonata; as well as classic jazz tunes like Line For Lyons, Tune Up, A Blizzard of Lies, Pent Up House, Bluesette, Along Came Betty, are staples of its repertory.

Many innovative current songs are also featured, including Mother Nature's Son, Just The Two of Us, And I Love Her, Craig Swanson's Closed (Due to Fire), and several Feuer originals. Combinations that have left audiences delighted and looking for more.
