About this event
The Relax Attack Jazz Series continues July 14 with the Ben Schmidt-Swartz Group, featuring one of Chicago's most versatile and inventive tenor players. A prolific saxophonist, woodwindist, composer, and educator, Schmidt-Swartz moves fluidly between avant-garde explorations and bebop tradition, bringing a dynamic, genre-blurring approach to the bandstand. Joined by Grayson Nye on keyboards and Ethan Bouwsma on drums, the group delivers a sharp, exploratory set rooted in deep musical chemistry. As always, Relax Attack showcases Chicago's top jazz artists every Tuesday and Wednesday in a lively room filled with cocktail-shaking and spirited conversation.
