The Fine and Performing Arts Department at Saint Louis University presents free jazz trio The Ghost on Saturday, April 27 at 8 PM in the Mark Wilson Studio Theater on the ground floor of Xavier Hall on the campus of Saint Louis University.

The Ghost is a trio lead by Michael Foster, which approaches the free jazz tradition from a uniquely queer angle. The Ghost recontextualizes the masculinist aesthetics of free jazz as a homoerotic exchange of histrionics, trust, and radical dynamic shifts through a combination of free improvisation and compositions that range from originals to forgotten standards. 

The Ghost is Michael Foster (saxophones/samples/compositions), John Moran (double bass), and Joey Sullivan (drums).

St. Louis violinist Alex Cunningham will open the show with a solo set.

This event is Free and open to the public.

GET STUMPED every First Thursday with 45 trivia questions from a variety of categories, designed to astound, gob smack, flummox, baffle, bamboozle, and vex! If you answer just one question correctly, you've done the impossible. If they're all too hard, ya can't say you weren't warned by the very name of the event itself! That said, I have never agreed with a single person I've ever heard say the words "I'm not good at trivia" We all have our niche! We begin around 8:45PM, so arrival by 8:30PM is recommended. We play three games. Show up late to catch the second or third game, or leave after the first or second game if you have an earlier bedtime or somethin' else to do! Prizes will be awarded for each game as well as a grand prize for highest score of the entire night. (It's mostly drinks. This is a bar, after all.) Team size is limited to SIX per team, and admission is FREE. (But buy some drinks. This is a bar, after all.)

I'll also typically do my best to ensure that there's free, fresh popcorn available on-site in basically whatever amount you could wish for. BRING YOUR OWN Bowl or Cup! Show What Ya Know, And Learn What Ya Don't! Every First Thursday at Saint Louis's premiere boutique trivia event, in the #1 bar of downtown: The Crack Fox. It's IMPOSSIBLE TRIVIA.
