1st Set With Andy Brown feat. Jon-Erik Kellso

Showtimes:   6pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm

Bandleader Andy Brown has been one of the busiest guitarists in Chicago over the last two decades, leading his own bands and backing visiting jazz stars all over the city, as well traveling nationally and internationally with a variety of groups. He specializes in what he calls “old-school jazz guitar.”

The Andy Brown Quartet brings together four of the finest jazz musicians on the Chicago scene. Featuring Andy on guitar, Jeremy Kahn on piano, Joe Policastro on bass and Phil Gratteau on drums, this quartet combines the member’s shared musical inspirations and presents a lyrical and hard-swinging working band that has delighted audiences and critics alike. As a group they have performed weekly at Andy’s Jazz Club since 2012. Their Delmark records release Direct Call received 4 stars in Downbeat Magazine and was selected as one of the magazine’s Albums of the Year. Their latest recording is the 2023 release Good Atmosphere.

Trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso joins the group this weekend as a special guest. Since moving to NYC in 1989 to join Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks, trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso has become the go-to player for many of the greats. He’s on well over 100 albums, including several he’s led, as well as many movie and TV soundtracks, including “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and “Boardwalk Empire.”
