The series opens on Thursday, September 29, with the Willie Jones III Quintet, an all-star ensemble featuring Jones on drums, past Tonight Show Band member Ralph Moore on tenor sax, San Diego’s own Gilbert Castellanos on trumpet, Sam Hirsh on piano, and Luca Alemanno on bass. Jones’ association with the Athenaeum goes back to 1995, when he first appeared at the library in the stellar collective Black Note alongside longtime friend Castellanos.
