The Jazz Gallery Presents: Mike Moreno

This week at The Jazz Gallery has turned into a mini-residency for guitarist Mike Moreno. After joining the Kendrick Scott/Kanoa Mendenhall Mentoring Series band on Thursday and vocalist Sachal Vasandani on Friday, Moreno returns on Saturday evening for two sets with a new quartet. Featuring pianist Jon Cowherd, bassist Matt Brewer, and drummer Nate Smith, the quartet has a decidedly electric tilt and will perform new Moreno compositions.Before coming out to hear this brand new material, take a listen to Moreno performing one of his longtime favorite compositions—Wayne Shorter's "The Big Push"—at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles last month.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50wJpdCL02I The Mike Moreno Quartet plays The Jazz Gallery on Saturday, December 7, 2019.
