Olson Pingrey Quartet

  • The Lilypad 1353 Cambridge Street Cambridge, MA, 02139 (map)

$15 Cover @ the Door / Start 7pm / Doors 6:30pm / Seated Show

Boston’s most alphabetical jazz group, the Olson Pingrey Quartet (AKA the OPQ) is led by the wife and husband team of Kathy Olson and Randy Pingrey. This chord-less quartet fronted by baritone saxophone and trombone plays a mix of originals and inventive arrangements of standards.

The OPQ’s first album “Low Contrast” was reviewed in Cadence Magazine where Jerome Wilson called it “a fresh and fun slant on some classic materials” and that the tunes “have a clipped interplay and strutting beauty that brings to mind Mulligan dueling with Bob Brookmeyer, a nice blend of low tones over a high-stepping rhythm section.”

Kathy Olson - bari sax

Randy Pingrey - trombone

Fernando Huergo - electric bass
