About Event Horizon: 

Event Horizon Jazz Quartet performs a multifarious selection of music composed by Jim Kaczmarek and Scott Mertens. Benefiting from what they learned during a four year plus residency at Hackney’s in Palos Park the group released their first recording in May of 2020. Travis Rogers writes- “(EHJQ) is a brilliant blending of diverse influences and inspirations that combine to create works of wonder and profound interest. As musicians, they are exemplary. As composers and arrangers they are brilliantly creative. As artists they have a unified voice that has an impact and inspiration worthy of close attention.” The quartet has performed at a variety of venues including Fitzgerald’s, Montrose Saloon and Madison’s Café Coda. They are thrilled to be performing at the Epiphany Center for the Arts. The show will feature music from their cd “Event Horizon” as well as exciting new compositions destined to be on their next...recording in the spring. The group features Jim Kaczmarek on saxophones and flute, Scott Mertens playing piano and keyboard, Donn De Santo- bass and Rick Vitek on drums.
