Brian Newman Quintet at Xavier University / Gallagher Theater

About

Join the Brian Newman Quintet, featuring Dan Karlsberg & The 'Nati 6, for an afternoon of world-class jazz and swing.

Newman is best known as Lady Gaga's jazz bandleader, having most recently collaborated with her and Tony Bennett on their Grammy-nominated album "Cheek to Cheek" and joining them on worldwide tour. When not performing with Lady Gaga, Newman has a longstanding weekly residency as bandleader at New York City's Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and select Friday nights at the legendary Rainbow Room with his orchestra.

Dan Karlsberg, meanwhile, is an award-winning jazz pianist and composer, whose most recent album, "The 'Nati 6," features Karlsberg and five of Cincinnati's greatest living jazz musicians: bassist Jim Anderson, drummer Art Gore, trumpeter Kim Pensyl, saxophonist Brent Gallaher and trombonist Marc Fields.
