We are thrilled to welcome star stand-up bassist, Clay Schaub (who is, in fact, the stage-mayor of this establishment) for the first time as a band leader, presenting his own quartet. His talendted crew features a newbie to the Milwaukee scene (recently relocated from Boston), Emily Mitchell on vocals and guitar. Rounding out the group are regular collaborators Devin Drobka on drums, and Russ Johnson on trumpet.

Martini Jazz Lounge, every Thursday thru May, 6:30 to close. No cover. Martinis and Cosmos, $8.

Next week: Le Fleur Qtet
