Tuesday, May 27, SWMT&M (7 pm)/ Maurice Jacox with the Tuesday Night Band (9 pm, $5)
The Artists' Quarter's hottest night opens with an exciting band featuring Zach W. Schmidt, Cory J. Wong, Cassie Meyer, Patricio Toledo and Dan M. Musselman starting at 7:00 P.M. These young, talented musicians provide the perfect prelude to the AQ's longest standing engagement. Check out a video or this more recent one .
Then, for the main event sample some 'organic cookin' with Maurice Jacox and the Tuesday Night Band. Hammond 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. Lots of guests have sat in with the Tuesday Night Band (Joey DeFrancesco, Steve Miller, et al), so you never know when you might miss something special. Truth is, every Tuesday is special at the AQ, but when you can put a guest on your calendar, why not? The mighty Maurice Jacox, singer & sax man with the legendary Willie & The Bees and other seminal Twin Cities groups, makes an appearance with the B-3 fueled, funky soul-jazz lads of Tuesday nights. The Tuesday Night Band features "Downtown" Bill Brown (Hammond B-3), Billy Franze (guitar), and Kenny Horst (drums) ! Nothing but a party every Tuesday night. Check out these videos: Two tunes from the TNB - then come on down and join the fun. It's nothing but a party every Tuesday night. There's no stopping the groove.
