Look What Ike Sturm Has Been Up To!

In March, Ike trucked his Jazz Mass to Europe, doing eight concerts in eight days with his fabulous 6-piece band in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

The core combo was Misty Ann Sturm on vocals, Loren Stillman on alto sax, Chris Dingman on vibes, Jesse Lewis on guitar, Jared Schonig on drums, and Ike on bass.

In Norway, they added  trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and tenor sax player Uwe Steinmetz.

“We played all original music and arrangements – mostly new songs and vespers or mass settings that I’ve been writing for Saint Peter’s,” Ike said.

“The beautiful churches (some of them nearly 1000 years old) inspired new sounds in the music and challenged us with different acoustics each day.  We made new friends with some incredibly nice people along the way and hope to visit again soon.”

Ike will be working his instructional magic at all three Tritone camps this summer.
