GUILFORD — Wendy Redlinger's Jazz Soiree will host the Bob Stabach 4tet on Monday, July 20, at 7 p.m, preceded by a potluck dinner at 6 p.m.
The quartet includes Eugene Uman, piano: George Kaye, bass; Jon Fisher, drums; and Bob Stabach on sax0phone.
In this performance, the quartet celebrates Dave Brubeck's best selling jazz album, Time Out, which went platinum (1 million copies sold) in 1961. “Take Five,” from this album, became the best selling jazz single of all time.
Time Out in its time was extraordinarily experimental and, at the same time, a huge hit with its innovative use of unusual time signatures such as 5/4 and 9/8. Common time signatures are usually 4/4 and 3/4.
President Bill Clinton once said he was inspired to take up the saxophone after hearing Paul Desmond's sax playing on the Time Out album.
This evening's concert will also feature originals as well as tunes from the Great American Songbook.
