Transmission

Transmitting, aka the Transmitting Trio, was originally a quartet formed in Ann Arbor, MI, in the mid ’90s, even though most of its users were going to the University or college of Michigan College of Music. Saxophonist/clarinetist Colin Stetson, clarinetist Stuart Bogie, bassist Eric Perney, and drummer Andrew Kitchen gigged around Ann Arbor and Detroit for a couple of years, earning a pursuing among regional jazz fans for his or her stability of groove and experimentation. In 1998, they relocated towards the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA Bay region, where Bogie quite unintentionally parlayed his day time work at a deli right into a quirky tv advertisement for Levi’s denim jeans. In the mean time, the group performed at numerous night clubs all around the Bay Region, and released its self-titled 1st album on the tiny Audible Hiss imprint in 1999. Bogie later on remaining the group and relocated to NEW YORK, where he became a member of the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, and in addition used Medeski, Martin & Solid wood. He was changed in Transmitting for a short while by keyboardist/accordionist Patrick Ferrell, who later on departed, and some other musicians arrived and went. In the mean time, several Transmission side tasks sprang up. Stetson and Perney performed collectively in the People’s Bizarre, a chamber jazz group affected by Eastern Western folk; Perney and Kitchen installed with guitarist Roger Riedlbauer in the Burns up Brothers; Stetson and Perney got a documenting gig with Tom Waits; and everything three users performed in Boostamonte, a big-band fusion task affected by funk, Latin, and hip-hop. Transmission’s self-released their 1st album like a trio, Tiny Beast, in 2002.
