Our first foray into the world of live sound! Please come see these two in an intimate setting as they perform jazz standards, and more. Wednesday, September 2nd 2026 6:30-8:00pm.
On a personal note, Bob is one of the most important figures in my life. He’s on my Mt Rushmore, and maybe stands alone given how much I learned from him. Just being near him is enough for anyone to be better, as a player, and as a person.
I’m very excited to hear these two, and I hope I see you out and about. Here is more on the two of them, as shared by John. ~Mark
