Paul Dietrich's 5+4

Arts + Literature Laboratory welcomes Paul Dietrich's 5+4, a unique combo of a jazz quintet with a strings quartet, to celebrate their recent CD release on Friday, February 23, 2024 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 student/ALL Member in advance online, or $25 at the door for everyone. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

Paul Dietrich's 5+4 was conceived as a group that would combine the instrumentation of a classic jazz quintet (trumpet, tenor saxophone, piano, bass, and drums) with that of a string quartet. While strings have been present in jazz music since the 1920s, they have not traditionally played a central role, and composer and trumpet player Dietrich was interested in exploring the sonic possibilities of this combination. Dietrich's work in this regard has been commended: All About Jazz says that "the two components mesh so seamlessly that it's hard to imagine the album with one but not the other," and Textura adds that "Dietrich has worked hard to integrate strings fully into the arrangements rather than use them as window dressing-like add-ons."

The group's eponymous album was released in mid-October, but as Dietrich had only recently become a father at that time, he felt it was a good idea to delay any release shows. Arts + Literature Laboratory is fitting venue for this belated CD release show, as the ensemble's first performance in 2021 was supported by an Artistic Development Grant from ALL and the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium.
