He will share some of his favs with us Aug 4th as part of our craft cocktail menu!

The Unknown Jazz Quintet mixes jazz and humor and they met while performing in various Muncie Civic Theater musicals over the years. The core group is Evan Shroyer on drums, his brother
Zayne Shroyer on trumpet, Stacey Briggs on saxes, Paul Rhine on electric or double bass and at times Sean Woodgett or Jim Rhinehart on keyboard. 
Years ago, bassist Paul Rhine gigged in Muncie with drummer Charlie Owen, pianist Dr. Phil Cooley and vocalist Paula Owen. Rhine was a fixture of the Indianapolis jazz scene, performing with local jazz luminaries such as saxophonists David Young, Jimmy Coe and Alonzo “Pookie” Johnson; pianist Claude Sifferlen;
vibraphonist Billy Wooten; drummers Benny Barth and Jack Gilfoy, and Wes Montgomery’s brother pianist/vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery among others.
