May Highlight!
Drummer Dave Potter will lead a sextet of some of Nashville’s top jazz players to celebrate the music of one of jazz music’s most legendary and iconic drummers, Art Blakey, and the band he led for many years, the Jazz Messengers. Blakey was a hugely important figure in the hard bop movement of the late 50s and on. This sextet will feature Miguel Alvarado on tenor sax, Desmond Ng on trombone, Andrew Sidberg on trumpet, Daniel Kuk on piano, and Rob Linton on bass.
