NYC: STEVE WILSON QUINTET: SPECIAL EDITION II AT THE JAZZ STANDARD

NYC: STEVE WILSON QUINTET: SPECIAL EDITION II AT THE JAZZ STANDARD

The 'Steve Wilson Quintet: Special Edition II' will come to the THE JAZZ STANDARD (116 East 27th Street, NYC - 212-576-2232) for a series of concerts, Thursday through Sunday, April 18th through 21st. Performances are at 7:30 & 9:30 pm with late shows at 11:30 pm on Fridays & Saturdays. Wilson will be joined by an amazing line-up of musicians: George Cables, Alex Sipiagin, Larry Grenadier, and Ulysses Owens, Jr. This quintet brings together three generations of some of best musicians on the New York scene. Having been one of the first-call musicians of choice since the 1960's, George Cables is considered one of the few living grand masters of the piano. Also known for his lasting contributions to the modern jazz repertoire we'll feature some of his compositions. Bassist Larry Grenadier and trumpeter Alex Sipiagin have been two of the most in-demand players since the 1990's. Grenadier is best known for his work with Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau, and Sipiagin as a leading soloist with The Mingus Big Band and Michael Brecker. Drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr. at 30 years-old has already become everyone's favorite drummer. His buoyant beat and infectious smile gets everyone's toes tapping, fingers snapping, and makes the band's groove deeper. This old friends-new band collaboration is the perfect balance of fire and elegance. Call for cover/minimum information.
