The Gerry Malkin Quintet

On Saturday, February 1 at 7:30 pm, Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) will continue its highly touted Music in the Box series with the Gerry Malkin Quintet, renowned artists who have been called a “quintessential… group that plays top-notch music” with pedigrees that “run deep in the jazz hierarchy.” Led by Malkin on tenor sax, the distinctive post bebop sound of the Quintet interprets music of the classic era of mid-twentieth century jazz from Miles Davis to John Coltrane. The group will play at WCT’s Black Box at 23 Water St.

Malkin has performed with internationally known artists ranging from Motown legends The Temptations and The Four Tops, to Tito Puente, Steve Johns, Adam Nussbaum and Dave Weckl. The other musicians in the band, including Neil Alexander on piano; Chris Morrison on guitar; Mike McGuirk on bass; and drummer Bobby Leonard, have also performed with such jazz greats as Lew Soloff, John Abercrombie, Woody Herman and Dave Liebman.

Tickets, $25, can be purchased online. There is limited seating available, advance purchase is strongly recommended.) Refreshments will be available.
