The Artists' Quarter Jazz Club: Live Music in Downtown Saint Paul, MN - Friday, Feb. 20 - Saturday, Feb. 21 3rd Annual Bobby Peterson Memorial Piano Showcase (9 pm, $10).

Pianist Bobby Peterson was not only a legendary figure in Twin Cities jazz, he was a mentor to many and is missed as much for his personal warmth as his incredible talent. Paying tribute to Bobby (February 16, 1950 – July 8, 2002) are some of the musicians who were touched by his genius. Bobby’s powerhouse, swinging style and crowd-thrilling improvisations earned him a long-term engagement with the Buddy Rich Orchestra starting at age 21. After returning to the Twin Cities, he was a regular performer at the AQ.

Friday’s pianists are Laura Caviani, Peter Schimke & Dan Musselman.

Saturday it’s Phil Aaron, Chris Lomheim & Tanner Taylor.
