For our last Monday jazz session of 2022, we've lined up nothing less than a legend: the fearsomely talented and accomplished multi-instrumentalist Premik Russell Tubbs. The list of giants Mr. Tubbs HASN'T performed with would probably be shorter than the list of those he has, but let's identify some highlights: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Santana, Whitney Houston (that's his sax solo on "How Will I Know?") Jeff Beck, Sting, Jaco Pastorius, Lady Gaga, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar...and the list goes on and on. For next Monday, PRT is joined by Steve Sandberg on keyboards and Patrick Carmichael on drums. We have a full-on festival or lights AND sounds for the first night of Hanukkah — come hear this incredible trio for yourself this coming Monday evening.$15 donation requested
