Location
The Jazz House is located at 3192 Adeline Street in Berkeley, a half block southwest of the Ashby BART.  (Please note there is an incorrect Adeline Street in Oakland.)

The Jazz House is a small, non-descript warehouse located next to the police station where Martin Luther King and Adeline Street meet.  A blue light and a peculiar "Ant" sign reside above the entrance.

About Lucas Niggli's ZOOM:
Lucas Niggli’s ZOOM is the union of the improvisational core of Jazz with the esthetical sound-culture of contemporary music.  This small and agile group with two tenor instruments and drums speeds through the highs and lows of today’s music.

The group makes a bow to tradition here and jumps into the unknown there. The compositions are very delicately crafted, especially with regard to sound. A wide range of dramaturgies and energies come into play as their compositions are both relaxed and simultaneously highly powerful.

"Fun stuff that is curiously accessible, not easily pigeonholed, and eerly unique."

"Niggli keeps the juices going, with oddball meters, quick changes in direction, and plenty of Melody sandwiched between radical rhythms. Interest never wanes."
     -  Steven A. Loewy, All Music Guide (USA)
