Jason Stein's been playing bass clarinet for 30 years. Bassist Damon Smith learned from Julius Hemphill in his native St. Louis and currently collaborates with the great Roscoe Mitchell. And Adam Shead put this trio together in 2021 and booked their current two week, 14 concert tour that lands in New York City, Philly and Buffalo over the next few days. This was their second appearance in our studios. Here's hoping you'll check them out: https://www.bluelakeradio.org/2026-05-27/blue-lake-in-session-brings-you-the-stein-short-shead-trio-from-chicago
