The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

The Sound Room

What a band!!!! Often they are on the road with BIG names but now this is a showcase of their talent! Miro has been on the road with Karrin Allyson. Karl tours with Jane Monheit, John C Reilly and Anthony Wilson. Dan has toured with all of these musicians. But now we get to focus on THEIR music.Featuring pianist Miro Sprague, bassist Karl McComas-Reichl and drummer Dan Schnelle, this dynamic Los Angeles-based cooperative trio performs original music and choice standards in a conversational and highly interactive improvisational style. The trio’s music spans a wide range of grooves, moods and musical colors, from intense swing and second line grooves to contemplative ballads and freely improvised vignettes. The musical material is also wide-ranging, featuring original compositions by each band member as well as lesser known material by artists like Mary Lou Williams and Bill Evans. Come see their Bay Area debut!Miro Sprague is a pianist, composer, bandleader, and educator known for his inspiring creativity, dynamic and passionate performance style, and artistic versatility. Working primarily in the world of jazz and improvised music, Miro has been an active performer since the early 2000’s, touring throughout the U.S. and overseas and performing at many of the world&#x27;s top venues and festivals. Currently based in Los Angeles, Miro leads his own trio and quintet, and has performed with many renowned artists including Greg Osby, Ingrid Jensen, Linda Oh, Jeff Parker, Joe LaBarbera, Steve Cardenas, Jerome Jennings, Ed Howard, Walter Smith III, Jerry Bergonzi, Houston Person, and many others. He is also an in-demand vocal accompanist and since 2015 has been the pianist of choice for renowned vocalist Karrin Allyson, touring extensively with her throughout the U.S. and overseas. He has recorded on numerous albums as both a sideman and a bandleader and he is currently gearing up to release his next album “Constant” later this year.

Known for an intuitive ability to provide precisely what is necessary for each performance, Schnelle understands how to make other musicians comfortable, while bringing enough of the unexpected to his playing to keep it consistently exciting.
