Fesler-Lampert Series: Red Planet

“Creative jazz for the 21st Century.”

Since 2003, Red Planet has been a bold force in the Twin Cities jazz scene. Guitarist Dean Magraw, bassist Chris Bates, and drummer Jay Epstein bring fearless creativity to originals and reimaginings of Coltrane, Monk, and Hendrix. Their recordings, including Space Dust and the DownBeat-praised Red Planet with Bill Carrothers, reveal deep grooves, otherworldly textures, and an adventurous spirit. One reviewer described them as “creative jazz for the 21st Century, inviting you to put one ear on the launching pad of neo-bop Trane/Hendrix/Monk burn, and your other ear on the celestial weightlessness from the musical cosmos.” For this performance, they are joined by their newest member, pianist Kavyesh Kaviraj, a vibrant young artist whose touch bridges jazz, gospel, and global traditions. His inventive voice at the keys adds fresh energy to Red Planet’s already cosmic sound, promising an evening as soulful as it is exploratory.
