This week, 2/15/2025, at Art Boutiki Presented by Dan and Emily

Only one show happening this Saturday, (2/15) - Idiot Fish, sharing the stage with Scratchy fish. Idiot Fish is the creation drummer/composer Wally Schnalle. It’s a project that has been brewing since 2010 when it first appeared live at San Jose Jazz Fest. After many incarnations this latest ensemble features the world’s leading jazz Bassoonist Paul Hanson, Bulgarian Guitarist Hristo Vitchev, Frank Martin on keys and Aaron Germain on bass. It’s a contemporary jazz tour de force. Schnalle’s compositions are fueled by the best of fusion traditions yet they are fresh and forward-looking. Additionally, Scratchy Fish grew out of the De Anza College jazz combos and big band classes in 2017. Their music is improvisational and is primary arrangements of modern popular music from artists like Radiohead, David Bowie, and Sting.

ALSO — mark your calendar for next week, Feb 20th for our next free Drink and Draw event!

Tickets for Idiot Fish are $20 advance, $25 at the door. Doors at 8pm. Show starts at 8:30pm. See you here!
