UPWARD DOGS

The Upward Dogs are an improvisational jazz-funk collective led by Chapel Hill drummer Scott Jones, originally developed in NYC and bringing that urban sensibility to the Triangle. For this performance, Jones reunites with longtime collaborators E. Scott Warren and Michael Pelz-Sherman on bass. The trio creates completely improvised music in the moment — no setlists, no rehearsals, just deep listening and groove inspired by vibes of artists like Medeski Martin & Wood and Wayne Krantz.
