Saxophonist Aaron Gratzmiller will present an exciting set of hard-bop originals, including several tunes from the Pearcy/Gratzmiller Jazz Quintet album Over the Edge. These tunes combine modernist harmonic sensibilities with the energy of classic jazz artists such as Horace Silver and Art Blakey.

Pianist Matt Savage presents this very special album release show for his new quartet CD, The Whole Package! This is Savage’s most ambitious project yet, with an hour and a quarter of music, and it features a wide array of tempos and rhythms, with more dramatic touches than on previous albums. The album (which is his first straight-ahead jazz release since 2016) includes both original bebop tunes and cover songs from very different decades. Matt Savage - piano, electric piano; Mark Zaleski - alto sax, soprano sax; Greg Loughman - bass; Zak King - drums
