Trumpet virtuoso Jonathan Powell brings his quintet to Nocturne Saturday nights in November to celebrate the timeless music and evocative sounds of the legendary Chet Baker.

Powell's exquisite quintet (Matt Horanzy - Guitar, Dave Hanson - Piano, Matt Smiley - Bass, Alejandro Castaño - Drums) will explore Baker’s celebrated repertoire, from intimate ballads and lyrical standards to the sophisticated, understated swing that helped define the West Coast cool-jazz tradition. The performances offer a fresh perspective on Baker’s repertoire through the voice of a trumpeter whose own career bridges straight-ahead jazz, Latin jazz, salsa, funk, and contemporary music.

A veteran of New York’s jazz and Latin music scenes, Powell spent a decade performing with Eddie Palmieri, and has performed with Sam Rivers, Reggie Workman, Miguel Zenón, Maria Schneider, Darcy James Argue, Oscar Hernández & Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ricky Martin, and many others. He has appeared on more than a dozen Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning recordings and was named Best Latin Jazz Trumpeter by the Latin Jazz Corner.

Join Powell and his quintet for four Saturdays of beautiful melodies, swinging rhythms, and a heartfelt celebration of Chet Baker’s enduring musical legacy.
