Aropa is a new collaborative project featuring original works and involving some of the top improvisers from Northeast Ohio and Pittsburgh. 

Members come from an eclectic mix of musical backgrounds and career experiences, finding common ground in improvised music and jazz traditions. Featuring Phoenix native Russell Schmidt on piano, the group also showcases Chris Anderson on trombone, Dr. Jason Kush on saxophone, Dan Bruce on guitar, Aidan Plank on bass, and Nathan Douds on drums.

Live at the Bop Stop is made possible by the Music Settlement – serving Northeast Ohio by offering music instruction – music therapy and early childhood education since 1912. The Music Settlement’s mission is to welcome all to our music and arts community to learn – create – inspire – and heal.
