Jazz Beat: Electric Tinks, at the Green Lady Lounge

Last year, Peter Schlamb released Tinks, an album of high-energy, original compositions built on electric vibraphone. It’s a phenomenal record, with tracks that stretch the definition of jazz into a mesmerizing modern funk. Schlamb’s concise arrangements twist and explode with delight. Friday night, he brings his Electric Tinks band to the staid 1940s charm of the Green Lady Lounge. With Schlamb on vibes, Hermon Mehari on trumpet, Matt Villinger on keyboards, Karl McComas-Reichl on bass and Pat Adams on drums, this collection of exceptional young talent fuses its own 21st-century music vocabulary with traditional jazz elements.
