The extraordinary saxophonist Michael Blake spent his early years on Canada’s West Coast before becoming one of New York City’s most eclectic and in-demand tenor saxophonists.

He has worked with a long list of American jazz greats in a dazzling array of styles — from the Lounge Lizards to Neil Sedaka — and with some of the most compelling and respected musicians in straightahead and avant-garde jazz, including Kenny Werner, Jeff Ballard, and countless others.

For this special performance, Michael teams up with bassist Scott White, pianist Dr. Tony Genge, and drummer Kelby MacNayr to celebrate the art and joy of jazz collaboration!

Our Celebrating Black History Month series continues with the final special matinee — we’re still deciding whether it will be February 28 or March 1 — but it will definitely happen at 2:00 pm.

Join virtuoso Cuban pianist Pablo Cardenas for a concert celebrating Black History Month through music of the Americas.

Pianist, composer, arranger, and band leader Pablo Cardenas is a highly respected musician specializing in Cuban popular and traditional music, as well as classical and jazz traditions from across the Americas.

Joining him are longtime musical collaborators English left-handed electric bassist Peter Douse and drummer Kelby MacNayr, with special guest percussionist Israel “Toto” Barriel from Matanzas, Cuba.
