Drawing from the rich, challenging compositions of Michigan-based jazz composer Gregg Hill, this performance showcases Roe’s inventive arrangements alongside a dynamic quartet featuring GRAMMY-award-winning bassist Robert Hurst, drummer Nate Winn, and saxophonist Marcus Elliot Miller. The program reimagines Hill’s melodic and rhythmic ingenuity through a spirited blend of swing, hard bop, and imaginative ensemble interplay.

Don’t miss this chance to hear jazz that’s both rooted in tradition and defiantly inventive, performed by four musicians whose collective chemistry brings Gregg Hill’s remarkable music into compelling new focus.
