Behind the Beat: Ryan Meisel Quartet

Ryan delivers thought provoking, dynamic and spirited shows.

Captivating audiences, Meisel's original music expresses the story of his lifelong musical journey through song. 

Performing with his classic Quartet, (Sax/Guitar/Bass/Drums) Ryan’s brand of fiery saxophone playing pushes his group’s improvisational limits.  Ryan’s depth of work pays tribute to the authentic sounds of New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Blues, Swing, Hard-Bop, Avant-Garde and Fusion. 

Ryan Meisel ensembles are made up of Milwaukee and Madison’s top jazz musicians.  Other configurations may include trios, duos, and Quartet featuring vocalist Susan Hofer.
