About Slumgum:

slum•gum (slŭm’gŭm) n. 1. A term used in beekeeping, slumgum is the
impure residue, consisting of cocoons, propolis, etc., remaining after
the wax is extracted from honeycombs.  2. “An outstanding risk-taking
jazz quartet from Los Angeles”--(Gabe Meline, North Bay Bohemian)

Slumgum is a perpetually inventive quartet of adventurous musicians.
The band’s unique voice is shaped by unbridled imagination and diverse
influences that include jazz, free improvisation, world music, and
modern classical music.  They collaborate with a facility and
playfulness that is rare for an ensemble, giving their musical
curiosity room to explode and yielding daring results.  All of these
qualities find a home in the band’s innovative and colorful
compositions.  Performing live, Slumgum delivers their original music
with spontaneity and a blend of grit and finesse.  For the audience,
Slumgum’s exhilarating music projects their sheer joy in playing
together.

This summer, Slumgum returns to Colorado, following critical acclaim
during last year’s Jazz Aspen Snowmass (JAS) Festival:

“After hearing them in Aspen this past summer, we agreed that Slumgum
was a brilliant band … we were both knocked out by their originality
and artistry."
—Christian McBride and Loren Schoenberg, JAS Artists in Residence
