Johannes Wallmann Quartet

The Johannes Wallmann Quartet is led by UW-Madison Director of Jazz Studies Wallmann, whom DownBeat Magazine has called “a remarkable pianist and composer.” He has recorded nine critically acclaimed CDs as a leader, including The Town Musicians, a 2015 DownBeat Editors’ Pick, Love Wins, which the Wisconsin Gazette called “one of the most interesting and accomplished jazz albums to come out in recent years,” and his 2018 Shifting Paradigm Records debut album Day and Night, which DownBeat described as “confident, muscular and elegant.” Rounding out the quartet are long-time bandmates Tony Barba, tenor saxophone; John Christensen, bass; and Devin Drobka, drums.
