After more than a year, we welcome the return of a classic hardbop quintet in the spirit of Blue Note Records during the 1950’s & 60’s. Jacob and his quintet will be performing original material from their new LP, Silver Street, featuring music heavily influenced by jazz greats such as Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and Hank Mobley.
Musicians for this show will be:
Jacob Wendt, drums
Harry Ostrander, trumpet
Jimmy Emerzian, tenor sax
Doug Carter, piano
Ross Schodek, bass
Artist bio:
Although heavily influenced by Jazz and R&B drumming greats of the 1950’s and 60’s, his sound is unique; balanced, supportive, and interactive, with a driving energy that serves the music while leaving space for others to speak — he is an authoritative yet never intrusive player. His original ensembles have headlined major venues across Northern and Southern California including Blue Whale, Yoshi’s, The Fillmore Jazz Festival, Catalina’s Bar & Grille, and The Grape. To date he has released one album as a leader (Jacob Wendt Quartet, 2011), another as co-leader (Carter-White-Wendt, 2013), and a collection of original compositions (Jacob Wendt Sextet: Live at the Blue Whale, 2020). His latest project, Silver Street, is a classic hardbop quintet in the spirit of Blue Note Records during the 1950’s & 60’s. The album features all original compositions influenced by jazz greats such as Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and Hank Mobley. The album's release date is set for Friday, October 18th, 2024.
