7:00P - 10:30P

25th Street Recording Studio - Oakland California

For this unique recording session, Jazz Mafia's director Adam Theis is bringing together two of the collective's favorites bands:

Since 2003, The Shotgun Wedding Quintet has worked to create an illicit blend of hip hop and jazz that's rooted in tradition, but is ever looking forward. Each band member of this 5-piece ensemble is a multi-instrumentalist, making use of samplers and looping techniques to create a wall of sounds as band members shift from instrument to instrument.

Cosa Nostra Strings specializes in original hybrid crossover music ranging from acoustic power ballads, and everything in between. 

As Jazz Mafia's director, Adam has assembled over 100 different live projects over the past 16 years and led/co-led dozens of acclaimed bands.

Line up: 

Dublin - vocals

Max Miller Loran - trumpet/synths

Adam Theis - bass/trombone

Jon Monahan - guitar

Pat Korte - drums/sampler

With

Shaina Evoniuk - violin

Keith Lawrence - viola

Lewis Patzner - cello

Aaron Kierbel - percussion

What's in it for you: as a doubleOone member, you will attend a 4 hour recording session in a state of the art studio, and share this unique moment with a band as they record a track, and work together to reach excellence.

You will be in the tracking room with the musicians as they play and record. We give you access to the unfiltered creative process of one of San Francisco's greatest band, a sense of how the musicians understand and evolve their art You will find that studios are sanctuaries, places where time flows at its own natural pace, and where true inspiration is captured in sound and music.

If you are a musician yourself, we might even have a surprise for you. The recording is followed by a cultural chat and a Q&A session, addressing creativity, emotional labor, art and life choices, communication,  practice, inspiration, achievements and the road to one's true calling, ambition and mastery.

*Our recording sessions standards: you will attend the recording session with a small doubleOone group (only 20-25 spots available/recording), and engage in creating genuine music. Catering and wine will be served.
