10:30 PM "An Evening of Jazz with E.S.P."

Yesterday's Bebop meets today's electric Jazz. Originating from central NY, E.S.P. is an exciting, modern jazz quartet featuring accessible original music. Their sound is part groove, part bebop, and part Latin. Its real jazz, that you don't need a G.P.S. to follow!

This world class jazz quartet has been on the scene since 1999, and celebrated its ten year anniversary by releasing a new CD called “Time’s Up!” which plays on radio stations in over 90 cities all over the U.S. and abroad. Reviewers love it...

-“One of the top 10 Best CDs from Central NY in 2009 - Mark Bialczak, The Post Standard.
