Tenor sax players Pat LaBarbera and Kirk MacDonald lead an all-star quintet in this tribute to the great John Coltrane. Trane of Thought is a heartfelt tribute from two musicians with strong and distinctive voices of their own. LaBarbera and MacDonald have fully immersed themselves in the music of Coltrane, and you can hear it in every note they play.

Cancelled

A note to let people know we will be putting my Tuesday night residency on hold at the Black Bear Pub. With the recent rise in Covid cases it seems prudent to wait until things are more under control as to not put patrons, musicians and club staff at risk. So.. the December 28 th performance is cancelled and future dates will be announced when it is safer to reconvene. I would like to thank all that came out over the past couple of months for your support and hope to see you again soon. Stay safe everyone.
