Rutgers IJS Presents The Nat Adderley Jr Quartet and CD Release Party

Featuring Mike Lee on tenor saxophone, Chris Berger on bass, and Dwayne "Cook" Broadnax on drums.

Music legend Nat Adderley Jr. returns to Clements Place Jazz for an unforgettable night of soul‑drenched, R&B‑infused jazz—this time with his all‑star quartet and a brand‑new CD single release to celebrate.

Best known as the longtime musical director, arranger, and collaborator for Luther Vandross, Nat Adderley Jr. has shaped the sound of modern R&B while carrying forward the iconic jazz legacy of the Adderley family. His performances are a masterclass in groove, elegance, and emotional storytelling—where church, soul, and straight‑ahead swing meet in one unmistakable voice.

For this special event, Nat brings a powerhouse quartet of world‑class musicians, each one a leader in their own right. Together, they’ll debut fresh music from his latest recording alongside reimagined classics, deep‑cut gems, and the soulful arrangements audiences love him for.

Don't miss another great evening!

Free and open to the public.

Seating is limited so RSVP.
