In Sterio
In Sterio's unique vision of fusing classical flute training with mainstream music challenges the conventional ideas of the flute sound and repertoire.
In Sterio has an inimitable gift of incorporating impressive flute playing with diverse and eclectic music that is both innovative and entertaining. Among the styles they have integrated and embraced are Irish/Folk, R&B, funk, country, rock, pop, trance, classical, world, and new age. Their sound has been described as "two flutes-one brain", while performances have been praised as “spell-binding” and “awe inspiring”.
Koplant No
The band has been developing its unique sound throughout the Midwest since 2008 and first recorded for saxophonist Joel Vanderheyden’s debut album “Complete Life” on the Mize Music label in 2009. The album, referred to as “one of the best jazz-rock records to be released in years” (Chris Cooke, KIOS 91.5 FM, Omaha), was also selected as CD of the Month for August 2009 on Jazz 88.3 KCCK (Cedar Rapids, IA).
The quartet went on to release their self-titled album prior to a headlining performance at the 2010 Iowa City Jazz Festival, and has since been featured on Iowa Public Radio’s “Java Blend” program. Koplant No is Brian Lewis Smith on trumpet, keys and laptop, Drew Morton on basses and synths, Rob Baner on drums, samples, and vibraphone, and Joel Vanderheyden on saxophone.
