We are honored to welcome NEA Jazz Master and Max Roach Quintet veteran, saxophonist George Coleman, to the frontline of an all-star band led by world-renowned, South Hadley-born drummer and Roach disciple, Joe Farnsworth. Joining them will be Christian Sands (piano), Jeremy Pelt (trumpet) and Peter Washington (bass).
