Come celebrate the release of the Martin Wind Quartet's latest masterpiece at The Kitano (NYC) on May 30-31. This will be the New York City premiere performance of “Turn Out The Stars." “Martin Wind's 'Turn out the Stars' is more than a mere “tribute" album. At the heart of the project is a tremendous quartet: Martin on bass, Scott Robinsonon tenor saxophone, Bill Cunliffeon piano, and Bill Evans alumnus Joe La Barberaon drums. Wind, Robinson, Cunliffe and La Barbera - by themselves they form a great quartet. Put them in partnership with the marvelous Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana, conducted by Massimo Morganti and you have a glorious celebration of Bill Evans the pianist, composer, leader, and musical spirit."
