Patrick Wolff/Grant Stewart Quintet

Grant Stewart is an international favorite of critics and musicians, admired for his powerful tone and deep swing, and respected for his dedication to the art and language of jazz. In a rare series of Bay Area shows, he joins saxophonist Patrick Wolff and his quartet in presenting the sounds of the classic two-tenor groups through compositions by Charles Mingus, Al Cohn, Freddie Redd, and Duke Ellington. Wolff is a mainstay on the San Francisco jazz scene, known for his work with the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra and Diana Gameros, and praised for his original music and explorations of overlooked jazz repertoire. Don't miss this opportunity to see some real Bebop- alive, well, and swinging right down the street!

"Grant Stewart is regarded as one of the most influential tenor sax players of the contemporary jazz scene"- allaboutjazz.com

"Grant is one of the most innovative young musicians still carrying on the tradition of jazz" - Lou Donaldson

"The primary reason that Wolff's repertory concept works so well is that he's found a stellar cast of creative allies. The music feels lived in, like it's part of an ongoing conversation between widely read raconteurs... each tune is rife with idiosyncratic details that make it a welcome revelation."- Andrew Gilbert, San Jose Mercury News
