“…No pianist of Miller’s generation brings such a wide a stylistic palette to the table.” –Down Beat

There’s little in the world of jazz that compares to the view and ambience of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s small club space, Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. There’s also little in the world of jazz piano that compares with the dazzling elegance of Mulgrew Miller. Thus an incomparable week of music awaits the jazz cognoscenti in Manhattan when Mulgrew Miller brings his Wingspan ensemble to Dizzy’s, November 10-15.

"What Harrell [does] is spin out improvisational lines filled with instant melodies. Like a lyricist who illuminates phrases with subtle internal rhymes, Harrell's soloing captivates both the hearts and the minds of his listeners." - The Los Angeles Times

It just doesn't get any better than this. Hailed by Newsweek for his pure melodic genius, trumpeter Tom Harrell is widely recognized as one of the most creative and uncompromising jazz instrumentalists and composers of our time. He is a frequent winner in Down Beat and Jazz Times magazines' Critics and Readers Polls and a Grammy nominee. Each of his albums has found its way onto various critics "Top Ten" lists worldwide. Harrell's latest release with his quintet, Prana Dance,  is the second album that features the current members of his quintet. The remarkably cohesive unit includes tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, pianist Danny Grissett, drummer Johnathan Blake, and his bassist of 12 years, Ugonna Okegwo. The quintet's previous release, Light On, was released in 2007, to wide critical acclaim. This same stellar quintet is performing at the Village Vanguard on Tuesday, October 27th through Sunday, November 1st.
