The series concludes on Wednesday, May 18, with the powerhouse collective band of George Garzone/Peter Erskine/Alan Pasqua/Darek Oles (tenor sax/drums/piano/bass). Athenaeum Jazz favorites Erskine, Pasqua and Oles, making up one of the most accomplished trios in jazz, joined in 2019 with legendary Boston-based saxophonist and jazz educator Garzone to record the extraordinary three-CD project, 3 Nights in L.A. DownBeat wrote, “Garzone is in rare form, radiating minor-key modal lyricism, emotionally charged balladry, angular up-tempo blues and straightahead bebop teeming with tenor toughness. Erskine is a consistently refreshing catalyst for this most fortunate meeting of monsters; Oles is pitch-perfect and rock-steady throughout; and Pasqua’s less-is-more approach to the keys provides contemporary harmonic and melodic context. This substantial offering of four jazz masters communicating in a highly evolved common language—and playing at the absolute top of their game—is one for the books.”
Because of the ongoing construction project at Scripps Research, our annual three-concert spring series will be relocated this year to the Athenaeum library, so seating will be limited and early reservations are advised!
The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. These events will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of each concert. Face coverings are required for attendees, regardless of vaccination status. Proof of vaccination or negative test within 48 hours of the event is required. Event capacity is limited to 70% for now.
