ATX Music Series: The Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet

Thursday, November 6 at 8pm

The Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet is just so good. Their last Rosette show sold out, and we can’t wait to have them back. The virtuoso ensemble is woodwinds (Alex Coke), guitar (Carl Michel), concert harp (Elaine Barber), pedal steel (Bob Hoffnar), upright bass (James Suter) and vibes (Carolyn Trowbridge). Exploring the boundaries of jazz, classical, new music, folk, improvisation and extended techniques, they have two recordings on PlayOn Records, The Emissary (2021) and Emergence (2023). Their newest album, Situation (2025), continues their sonic exploration with arrangements of compositions by Carla Bley, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, Camille Saint-Saëns, Ottotino Respighi plus original compositions by group members Alex Coke, Carl Michel & Bob Hoffnar.
