A double-barreled sax attack forms the front line of this exciting Boston-area quintet. Jerry Bergonzi burst on the scene playing with Dave Brubeck in the 1970s and Jazz Times calls him “One of America’s premier living tenor saxophonists.” George Garzone, longtime member of the innovative jazz trio The Fringe while also backing countless pop acts like The Temptations, earned praise from The New Yorker as “a beacon of hard-won virtuosity.” Their ensemble work and solos are sure to amaze.

Hailing from Southern Brazil – territory disputed long ago by Spanish and Portuguese colonialists – guitarist/pianist Rodrigo Nassif is considered the national standard of contemporary instrumental music. His unique style blends those twin influences of his homeland, and critics have called it “jazzmilonga,” mixing jazz, folk, rock and classical elements. His first three solo albums earned critical praise and his first quartet record rocketed to the top of Brazil’s ITunes chart.

It’s a Valentine’s Day Special with Sherma Andrews and her band, but this is no ordinary Valentine’s Day Show.

What do jazz legends Stan Getz, Woody Shaw, James Moody, Wynton Marsalis and Michael Petrucciani have in common? Victor Jones has been their drummer, as he has for countless top musicians. Featured on over 200 recordings and film soundtracks, the innovative Victor is not afraid to bring together different styles and sounds. In recent years, he’s led his own group and, as Time Out wrote, “Nothing Jones does is ever boring.”

You can’t name a jazz drummer with better roots: T.S. Monk’s father was the legendary Thelonious, Art Blakey gave T.S. his first drum set, Max Roach gave him lessons and he began his career as his father’s drummer. His 1997 record “Monk on Monk,” interpreting Thelonious’s unmatched compositions won major awards and his live dates playing them and his own works are always dazzling events.

Bossa Nova would be unthinkable without the contributions of composer/guitarist Durval Ferreira whose beloved melodies were made famous by Sarah Vaughan, Sergio Mendes, Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, Cannonball Adderley and others. Pianist-composer Kerry Politzer’s Quartet pays tribute to Ferreira in this show as she does on her new album Diagonal that All About Jazz says “perfectly captures the seductive spirit of classic Bossa Nova and the bebop-grounded vibe of honest Samba Jazz.”
