Nicole McCabe Sat, Nov 07 $35 TICKETS | ALL AGES Nicole McCabe - Sax Logan Kane - Bass George Colligan - Keys Ken Mastrogiovanni - Drums Nicole McCabe is a genre-defying saxophonist and composer bringing the expressive power of modern jazz into dialogue with the sonic worlds of electronic, indie, and experimental music. Through her work as a bandleader, collaborator, and composer, Nicole McCabe continues to expand the possibilities of the saxophone in contemporary music. With a voice that honors tradition while pushing boldly into new sonic territory, she represents a new generation of artists redefining what modern jazz can be. As a performer, McCabe brings a distinctive sound to the alto saxophone—one that draws equally from the lineage of post-bop masters and the forward-looking spirit of today’s creative music scenes. Her playing is marked by clarity, intensity, and emotional depth, capable of moving fluidly from delicate melodic phrasing to fiery, rhythmically charged improvisation. Whether performing in intimate acoustic settings or within electronically enhanced ensembles, McCabe’s presence is both commanding and deeply communicative. McCabe’s collaborative range is unusually broad. Rooted in jazz but unconfined by it, she regularly works across musical worlds—performing with jazz innovators, pop artists, experimental producers, and electronic musicians. On that collaboration list, you’ll find Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jeff Parker, Louis Cole, Terri Lyne Carrington, Lil Bad Snacks and Patrice Rushen. This openness has placed her in projects that span acoustic improvisation, groove-driven jazz, avant-pop, and electronic music, demonstrating a rare versatility that allows her voice to translate across genres without losing its core identity. 06:30 PM SHOW 08:30 PM SHOW
