Its time again for another great event this coming Tuesday evening (5/24 @ 7pm) at Saxquest. We’re delighted and honored to be the only St. Louis playing venue for the New York based Adam Larson/John Raymond jazz quintet on their month long midwest tour. Adam Larson (www.adamlarsonjazz.com) is an up-and-coming tenor saxophonist with more talent than I’ve seen from most seasoned professionals. Although his technical facility is amazing, its his creative approach to the music that will leave you nodding your head. John Raymond is an equally gifted jazz trumpeter and has provided many of the arrangements for the ensemble. The group is rounded out by guitarist Nils Weinhold, drummer Bastian Weinhold, and bassist Raviv Markovitz. Don’t miss this blazing performance at the Saxquest shop Tuesday evening 5/24 at 7pm!!!
As always, the setting will be informal and refreshments will be served. Also, HECTV will be here filming the event.
Saxquest has always been a huge supporter of young jazz musicians. In this instance, we have partnered with Jazz St. Louis (www.jazzstl.org) to make this event possible. As many of you know we’re blessed to have an organization such as Jazz St. Louis with all of the education and outreach programs they offer to the St. Louis community, not to mention the 1000′s of musicians they have helped support over the years. I encourage you to help us support them by coming out and checking out this event. In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, I know its hard to take time out, especially when these are names you may not have heard of. However, I can assure you that these young cats not only have something to say, but will inspire and amaze.
I hope to see you all out at Saxquest next Tuesday at 7PM!!!
