These four much admired musicians have not played together before, so no one can really know what’s going to happen. But individually and in every musical situation each always can be relied on to do their absolute best with logic and other forms of magic. Songs by people in the band and an expansive horizon of possibility are in store for the listener as well as for the performers. $25 cover charge; byob.

“Melford can be rhythmic, romantic, stoic, wry, and lusty but most of all daring — all in one tune. More importantly she‘s reconnected music to motion, leaving today‘s straightlaced young men in suits, who have dominated recent jazz, in her wake.” –Stuart Nicholson, The London Observer.
