Jazz concert by the Brice Winston Quintet, a tribute to the life and music of Sonny Rollins.
The Brice Winston Quintet plays The Nash on Sunday, October 25, at 3 PM. It's a matinee, so you'll be out of there in time for a late lunch or a quiet Sunday afternoon, and the set is built around a specific name: Sonny Rollins.
Rollins is one of the giants of the tenor saxophone, a player who spent decades reworking the same standards until they became something entirely new. The quintet's program is a tribute to his life and music, so the afternoon will be a look at the songs and the approach he left behind. If you're familiar with Rollins, you know the sound—big, bold, and always moving. If you aren't, this is a good place to start.
It's a quintet on the bill, which means five players on stage. That's a full jazz ensemble, enough to build a rich sound without losing the room for solos. The tribute format means the set will draw from Rollins' long career rather than a single record, so you'll hear a range of his work across the years. It's a dedicated afternoon for one of the most influential voices in jazz.
