“One of the most influential saxophonists of his generation.” – The New York Times

Tenor saxophonist Mark Turner makes his Smoke debut as a leader with his quartet featuring trumpeter Jason Palmer, bassist Joe Martin, and drummer Jonathan Pinson. The group celebrates the New York release of Turner’s ECM recording Patternmaster.

The New York Times writes, “Every jazz musician strives to establish a voice. Some go so far as to create a language. Mark Turner is one of those: a tenor saxophonist with a vocabulary and syntax so personal that he’s recognizable within a single phrase.”

Throughout his career, Turner has collaborated with artists including Billy Hart, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Larry Grenadier, Jeff Ballard, Ethan Iverson, and many others, while creating a celebrated body of work as both a leader and collaborator. On Patternmaster, Turner, Palmer, Martin, and Pinson further develop their quartet sound. JazzWise praises the group’s “phrasal eloquence and narrative drive,” describing an ensemble with “a bracing, at times danceable, swinging energy.” DownBeat notes that “Turner’s sound is unmistakable—yielding, vocal, a bit matte, with a beautiful lyricism and remarkable control above the natural range of the horn.”

$25.00 / $40.00 / $50.00 / $55.00 – Wed, Thur, & Fri

Nicole Glover – tenor saxophone

Renee Rosnes – piano

David Wong – bass

Carl Allen – drums

“Few jazz pianists are as scarily satisfying.” — The Times (UK)

Renee Rosnes, one of the essential pianists and composers working today, opens Smoke’s annual two-week celebration of Thelonious Monk with a quartet of some of her favorite colleagues.

“Her style at the keyboard is powerful and modernistic, combining classical technique and sharp, clean phrases with a dramatic compositional style,” says Stereogum. “The music is reminiscent of mid-’60s Blue Note albums by players like Joe Henderson, Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson (with whom Rosnes worked), Sam Rivers, Wayne Shorter, and Tony Williams; it swings, and never loses touch with the blues, but it’s also abstract and biting.”

Rosnes is joined by tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist David Wong, and drummer Carl Allen.
