Jazz, Downtown and Rhodes College
John Bass Quartet
The Perfect Combo
Join us on May 16
Join us Downtown for another wonderful evening of classic jazz featuring the John Bass Quartet.
Memphis jazz stalwarts Gary Topper (saxophone), Tom Lonardo (drums) and CJ Manning (bass) join Rhodes College Professor and Director of the Mike Curb Institute for Music guitarist John Bass for a fresh take on Memphis jazz. Selections will range from well-known standards to new original works as the Quartet pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of Memphis along the way.
The quartet is led by John Bass, a Memphis-based guitarist and educator whose work over the past 25 years has garnered regional, national, and international recognition. As an artist, Bass has worked with artists such as Bobby Rush, George Coleman, and Kirk Whalum, and his published scholarly work fosters new ways of looking at music history, education, and practice.
Another classic Cavern Jazz evening not to be missed. Buy your tickets early as all shows this year have sold out.
