For this show, there will be no admission charge, but tips are greatly appreciated.  Featuring Pete on tenor saxophone, Zach Compston drums and Greg Wolfram on bass, the trio will present new music that looks forward and harkens back to the great tenor trios of Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins and Frank Foster.  The music will be spontaneous, full of interplay and swing.
