Johannes Wallmann, Sharel Cassity, Mitch Shiner, John Christensen, Devin Drobka, Russ Johnson, Arun Luthra Precarious Towers offers a couple of very strong hints right off the bat that Johannes Wallmann is taking a patient look through the canon and history of jazz piano. Wallmann has recorded and released new work as a composer and bandleader at an impressive pace, considering he is also in charge of the jazz program at UW-Madison’s music school. Six of his nine albums came out after he took that job, and across each he’s switched up collaborative lineups and broader musical and thematic approaches. He’s included a lot of excellent Wisconsin musicians among his collaborators, too. On Precarious Towers he records for the first time with a quintet lineup of people he’s played with before but not in this exact configuration—Sharel Cassity on alto sax, Madison’s John Christensen on bass, Milwaukee’s Devin Drobka on drums, and Mitch Shiner, also of Milwaukee on vibraphone. For all that’s new here, there is also a sense that he wants to focus on the fundamentals, roots he’s never exactly departed from but wants to examine in a close, intentional way. It’s a good chance for both Wallmann and his listeners to ask what it all means from today’s fractured perspective. Information Source: Al Rasho | eventbrite

Our immensely popular Dinner Detective shows are set in the present day. Unlike other murder mystery dinner shows, here you will find no cheesy costumes, no recited campy dialogue and no hokey song and dance. Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not. In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don't even realize it until they die...the performers, that is! Our Detectives proceed to interrogate everyone and find clues as the mystery unfolds. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime. The Dinner Detective performs at The DoubleTree by Hilton Madison East. We offer an amazing murder mystery show paired with a fantastic four-course plated dinner. Coffee and tea are included, and there is a cash-only cash bar available as well. OUR MENU: • Traditional Bruschetta; Mushroom Tartlets• House Salad• Choice Of Entree: Lemon Garlic Chicken with wild rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables, Herb Crusted Cod with wild rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables, OR Vegetarian Pasta Primavera• New York Cheesecake Please note, prop guns, loud simulated gunshots, and short lighting blackouts are used as part of the performance. Our show does not have a theme or time period, and our performers are not in costume. You can choose whether or not to participate in the show! Our guests are encouraged but not required to perform or participate. However, since our actors are hidden in the audience, other audience members may interact with and interrogate you on their own. The show takes place all around you! Our actors are seated all around the room, possibly at your table. We also ensure each table gets to see every clue and witness every important scene, so all guests have an equal chance to solve the mystery! The Dinner Detective is a show geared toward adults.
