Join us for a free, outdoor porch concert featuring local jazz ensemble, Premium Blend, presented by the Indianapolis Propylaeum!

Premium Blend is led by saxophonist Jared Thompson, Premium Blend is a modern jazz quartet that combines traditional elements of bebop, hard bop, r&b and groove in their original compositions. Backed by guitarist/song writer Ryan Taylor and keyboardist/songwriter Steven Jones, Premium Blend’s spin on jazz resonates with die-hard jazz fans and novices alike. The band has released four studio albums “S.O.A.P”-Sum Of All Parts (2015), “The Road” (2017) “Vices”(2019), and “38th & Postmodernism”- a documentary made possible by a commission from the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation which has accepted by multiple film festivals including Heartland Film Festival. Premium Blend is heavily featured in the winning Heartland Film Festival documentary “Go Get Your Horn” (2017), focused on the continuing mentorship and evolution of modern jazz in Indianapolis. The group is currently recording their next record which will be released at the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023.
