Jazz Bridge in Collingswood! presents saxophonist Bob Pollitt and his quartet, appearing at the Collingswood Community Center—30 Collings Avenue in Collingswood, New Jersey—on Thursday, March 7th. Tickets are $10, $5 for students, and are available only at the door. Show time is 7:30. Information: 215-517-8337.
Bob Pollitt has been deemed a legend for his tenor saxophone sound as big as a house, an unparalleled feeling for everything from ballads and bop to blues and funk, while continuing to be stylistically forward-looking and innovative. He’s appeared with past and present greats — particularly effective in a organ trio setting, by the way - including John Coltrane, Sonny Stitt, James Moody, Frank Foster, Jimmy Heath, Pharoah Sanders and Richard "Groove" Holmes. Pollitt, who also has been teaching extensively for years, was and is way ahead of his time.
For information, call 610-745-3011.
