Oct 16 at 8: South Motors Jazz Presents the Max Weinberg Quintet

The Max Weinberg Quintet epitomizes the synergy of jazz instrumentalists bringing their best instincts and improvisations to the stage.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Max Weinberg, most widely known for his nearly 47 year association with Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band and as the band leader of the shining Max Weinberg Seven on NBC’s Late Night and Tonight Show broadcasts, brings his power, dynamism, versatility, and chops to all of his various musical aggregations—his Quintet is no exception as Weinberg has traveled the U.S. and Europe with these fine musicians drawing rave reviews.

They delve deeply into the classic mid-60’s world of hard bop, as exemplified by such iconic musicians as Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, Horace Silver, and others of the genre.

The quintet is composed of David Kikoski, himself the leader of the Grammy Award winning Charles Mingus Big Band and a revered pianist who established his reputation early in his career for his work with drumming legend Roy Haynes. Dave has also worked with Chick Corea, Michael and Randy Brecker, Al Foster, and film composer Christian McBride.
Saxophonist Brandon Wright maintains an incredibly active session career on the east and west coasts, has been a mainstay of the Doc Severinsen Orchestra, and has worked with Max Weinberg in varying capacities including his Quintet, his 23 piece society dance band, and the occasional appearance with Max and Bruce Springsteen.

Chuck Bergeron has been playing bass professionally for almost four decades and has performed, toured, or recorded in multiple musical styles on six continents. 

Brian Lynch is a multi-Grammy winning jazz trumpeter. He has been a member of EddiePalmieri's Afro-Caribbean Jazz group and has led the Latin Side of Miles project with trombonist Conrad Herwig.

But, synergy is what it’s all about—the musical conversation these players establish from the very first downbeat. Commanding soloists all, they’ll have audiences on their feet with their renditions of energetic hard bop classics. 

Pinecrest Gardens is located at 11000 SW Red Rd. Tickets are $45-$50 at pinecrestgardens.org or 305-669-6990.
