About this event
Outside Pocket is the musical offspring of Greg Scheer, who composes original jazz tunes for the group. The music could be called “Neo-Standards,” with styles ranging from straight ahead swing to...
What to Expect
- 1.You’ll hear a tight blend of straight‑ahead swing and neo‑standards with tasteful improvisation, played by a small jazz ensemble in the cozy brewery setting. It’s approachable jazz—melodic, focused, and easy to settle into for an evening out.
- 2.The crowd tends to be relaxed and chatty between tunes, but most people keep it respectful during performances. If you want to soak in the music, find a seat with a clear view and lower your volume a notch when the band is trading solos.
- 3.Archival Brewing offers food and drinks, so plan to grab a bite or a pint before you settle in. If you’re unsure what to pair with the music, ask staff or try a flight to taste a few styles while you listen.
- 4.Arrive a bit early to snag good seating as the room can fill up, especially on weekends. If the venue is standing room or crowded, consider standing toward the back or closer to the bar for a better sound mix.
- 5.If you’re new to this kind of jazz, give the set a couple of tunes before you decide how you feel about the sound—neo‑standards can take a moment to click. It helps to focus on the melody and the drummer’s phrasing to anchor the experience.
