The Jazz Bridge “Jazz on the Mainline,” Third Thursday Concert Series presents guitarist Monnette Sudler and her Quartet at The New Leaf Club—1225 Montrose Avenue in Rosemont—on Thursday, December 18. Tickets are $10, $5 for students, and are available only at the door. One show starts at 7:30 p.m. Information: 215-517-8337.

Guitarist/composer/vocalist/educator/poet/recording artist Monnette Sudler is a treasure in this region—and beyond—and Jazz Bridge is pleased to welcome her back to the concert stage after her heroic and successful battle, via lung transplant, with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) lung disease.

Originally inspired by fellow guitarists Pat Martino, Bolo Sete and Wes Montgomery, and the music of legends like John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef. Her early work, going back to her first recording for Steeplechase Records in 1977, was pretty much in the jazz mainstream, but she has continued to evolve stylistically, combining elements of different genres, often in tandem with spoken word. In her prolific career, she’s toured the world and has recorded with giants like Reggie Workman, Grover Washington, Jr., Hamiet Bluiet, Steve Turre and Cecil McBee, among others. The “All Music Guide” described Sudler as a “hard-swinging guitarist with impressive chops,” while Jazz Times called her style “unique and surprising.”

Jazz Bridge, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to assisting Greater Philadelphia Metro area jazz and blues musicians and vocalists in times of crisis, sponsors these neighborhood concerts throughout the region to keep the sound of Philadelphia alive.
