Hear the radio episode here: http://n.pr/1MEjNLd • In Chicago, one band holds down a midnight to 5 a.m. gig on Saturday nights — or technically, on Sunday mornings. It's a time slot which seems challenging enough to do once or twice. These guys have been doing it for 23 years. • Sabertooth is a quirky band, currently an organ quartet co-led by saxophonists Pat Mallinger and Cameron Pfiffner. It swings hard (and a little off-kilter), mixing favorite standards and a repertoire of cleverly-arranged tunes. Every week, Pat and Cameron play for curious newcomers, rowdy drunks, hardcore fans and musicians coming off their own gigs. • It's an after-hours jazz party, Mallinger says. That's what it's labeled. ... It's not your average jazz gig. • It all happens in a club called the Green Mill, which doesn't look to have changed much since its days as a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Inside, it seems a bit like a place removed from time – especially if you get to see the basement and the escape tunnels it leads into. • Jazz Night In America follows Pat and Cameron to the Green Mill, then stays up all night with Sabertooth. • SKIP TO • 2:18 - “White Fang” • 12:48 - A tour of the Green Mill’s tunnels • 15:19 - “De La Tierra, Somos” • 23:18 - The late-night crowds • 24:04 - “Everywhere Calypso” • Recorded June 20, 2015 @ The Green Mill • MUSICIANS • Pat Mallinger (saxophones), Cameron Pfiffner (saxophones), Pete Benson (organ), Ted Sirota (drums) • FOLLOW US! • Facebook: / jazznight • Twitter: / jazznight • Instagram: / jazznightinamerica
