⊹
Ryan Meisel is a multi-instrumentalist, educator, and composer from Milwaukee, WI. He grew up outside of Milwaukee and honed his jazz skills under the tutelage of legendary bassist Richard Davis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and master jazz educators Ron Carter and Rodrigo Villanueva at Northern Illinois University. A postmodern jazzman whether he’s playing bari, tenor, alto, or soprano sax, Meisel can captivate an audience with his sweet sinuous tone then excite with his burly edginess. Performing with his classic sax/guitar/bass/drums quartet, Meisel’s fiery saxophone playing pushes his group’s improvisational limits. Meisel’s work pays tribute to the sounds of New Orleans traditional jazz, blues, swing, hard bop, and the avant-garde.

Ryan Meisel Quartet featuring Celia Meisel – Ryan and Celia’s dynamic playing and original arrangements capture the spirit of New Orleans we collectively hold in our hearts and imaginations. Meisel is a multi-instrumentalist, educator and composer from Milwaukee Wisconsin. Ryan grew up outside of Milwaukee and honed his jazz skills under the tutelage of legendary bassist Richard Davis at the University of Wisconsin Madison and master jazz educators Ron Carter and Rodrigo Villanueva at Northern Illinois University. Ryan strives to share music that is original, unifying among musicians and uplifting for audiences. Hailing from the South, Celia Meisel is a soulful singer and saxophonist whose blues-infused sound is steeped in story and feeling.
Smoke N’ Mirrors: The band was formed when old friends and former band mates, Gabe Hammer (organ) and Pete Geraci (saxophone) reconnected in MKE in 2017. The band went through a few configurations before solidifying into the group today. When Sam Kacala (drum set) joined, the trio quickly evolved into one of MKE’s most entertaining new jazz groups.
The music of Smoke N’ Mirrors takes inspiration from jazz legends such as Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff as well as more popular artists like James Brown, Parliament, and Grover Washington Jr. Smoke N’ Mirrors aspires to create a fun, dance-friendly vibe while also creating space to push the limits on self-expression through improvised solos and hypnotic grooves.
