ABOUT
The Arch Stanton Quartet, based in upstate New York, is putting a new spin on bop and post-bop jazz, with angular funk and latin grooves, expansive improvisation and inventive original tunes steeped in the traditions of Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Charles Mingus and John Scofield.
The Quartet has played club dates and private events throughout the Capital Region, Saratoga and the Hudson Valley, frequently calling upon its stable of talented guest artists to perform vocal-jazz gigs or to explore new varieties of instrumentation.

The Arch Stanton Quartet will be back in Saratoga on August 21 where we'll be performing as a quintet — joined by pianist Tim Olsen — at 9 Maple Avenue. Tim, who also plays trumpet, is active as composer, performer, and educator. He joined the faculty of Union College in Schenectady, NY in 1994, where he is currently Associate Professor of Music, Director of Africana Studies and director of the Union College Jazz Ensemble. The Tim Olsen Band varies in size from a quartet to an 18-piece big band. He also regularly plays piano with the Albany-based Joey Thomas Big Band, for whom he has produced over 50 arrangements and original compositions.
The Arch Stanton Quartet is delighted to have Tim join us for our August 21 gig at 9 Maple Avenue in Saratoga. The shows starts at 9 p.m.
