On Saturday, October 23rd, 2021, at 9 and 10:30 pm, we present the Carl Bartlett Jr. Quintet featuring trumpeter Sharif Kales, pianist Julius Chen, bassist Steve Wood and drummer Brian Carter.

Alto saxophonist Carl Bartlett Jr, like our last guest, Cliff Lee, comes from a family of musicians. That is an undeniably important factor in the life of an artist. As the receiver of such a gift, the musician is able to absorb the artform from a young age, an invaluable experience! Over the last ten years we have presented Carl Bartlett Jr and he has always delivered on an extraordinarily high level. This band he has put together with the brilliant trumpeter Sharif Kales should not be missed! They are amazing!!!
