Special Programs
Concert: Savage Jazz Quintet
Sunday, September 27th
2pm
Savage Jazz Quintet represents the culmination of decades of collaboration in various iterations of members. This group brings together five kindred spirits, all significant jazz performers and composers into a cohesive and symbiotic amalgam. While each member brings their individuality as a composer, the songs all share a commonality in being unrelenting, sincere, modern jazz that pulls no punches.
Savage Jazz Quintet includes Rick Savage on trumpet and flugelhorn, Scott Robert Avidon on saxophone and flute, Bob Himmelberger on piano, Tony Cimorosi on acoustic and electric bass, and Koko Bermejo on drums.

Concert: Richard Baratta Quintet
Sunday, October 25th
2pm
Richard Baratta has worn many hats over the decades; master drummer, Grammy nominee, film producer, musician, but his latest headwear takes us down a nostalgic road of classic rock and soul recordings from the mid to late 1960’s. Baratta returned to his original love, music, after a very successful 35 year career in the film business. With over 50 years of experience as a jazz drummer he enjoys the free flowing innovative sensibility that he applies to his work in the film industry.
