The Artists' Quarter - Thursday, May 1, Gary Berg Quartet 9 pm, ($5)

Gary Berg is well known to AQ fans as the master of the saxes in the Tuesday Night Band. A soulful and hard bopping horn man, Gary is also known to take a moving turn on the chromatic harmonica. Mr. Berg can also be heard playing on a slew of current local recordings including Pieces of Dreams by Carole Maritn, This is Organ Night by Billy Holloman, Blanket of Blue by Paula Lammers, Deja Vu by Francine Roche, and The Highest Mountain by George Avaloz. Jonathan Francis of The MAC Weekly states:"... Gary Bergs solos are masterpieces of wit and charm, bop-driven and infused with soul ... Charlie Parker meets old school rhythm-and-blues meets 60's hard bop." Come hear Gary as he leads his quartet through the musical landscape of bebop, hard bop, and soul-jazz. It’s always a rewarding ride when Gary takes the wheel and drives that jazz bus through his own headlining gigs. Check out this video of Gary .
