There's no stopping the groove.  B-3 organ lovers have been flocking to the AQ on Tuesday nights for over a decade to get a soulful dose of funky jazz.  The Tuesday Night Band features "Downtown" Bill Brown (Hammond B-3), Billy Franze (guitar), Gary Berg (sax) and Kenny Horst (drums) + guests! Nothing but a party every Tuesday night. Check out the  video clip 

Green is a burning post-bop quartet featuring  Zack Lozier on trumpet, Rob Dewey on piano, Rich Casey on bass, and Scotty Schultz on drums. Open mic is whatever you make it. Come read your stuff, or someone else's.

One of the AQ’s most ardent fans, Don Ringnalda passed away in late June at age 62. The St. Thomas English Professor had been battling throat cancer. Don was often seated at the bar, one of the AQ “regulars.” A jazz fan by night, Don taught at St. Thomas by day. He turned his Viet Nam experience into an acclaimed book, Fighting and Writing the Vietnam War, "probably the number one work that will give you a handle on this body of work, including literature, film and nonfiction,” said his Department Chair, Andrew Scheiber. "Don's basic hypothesis is this: The very way that we make sense of history as Americans keeps us from seeing the world as it actually is and leads us into political and moral disasters." The AQ will celebrate Don’s life and love of jazz at this Sunday afternoon event.
