Also, be sure to check out Dave’s regular Monday night jam sessions at the recently-reopened Brasserie Montmartre.

Friday June 6th: PSU STUDENT COMBO NIGHT
Organized, facilitated and run by world-renowned pianist Darrell Grant and the spectacular composer/arranger Charlie Gray, the jazz program at PSU has become one of the best places to be if you want to learn jazz for real. The students in these combos are exercising their right to use jazz as a vehicle for real creativity. If the last combo night was any indication, be prepared to hear some exciting, beautiful, inspired and mature music.
Saturday June 7th: ROBERT MOORE and the WILDCATS
Robert Moore is as unique a singer as he is a trumpet and harmonica player. Coming out of Birmingham Alabama and definitely embodying that Southern “thing”, he combines his influences of soul and gospel into his own distinct interpretations of bebop and swinging jazz. In Robert’s approach you hear King Pleasure, Mark Murphy, Mose Allison, & Ella alongside Otis Redding, Roger Miller & classic blues masters. Joining Robert on Saturday will be Dan Gildea on guitar, Dennis Caiazza on bass, and the legendary Ron Steen on drums.
The Cave is located at 636 SW Jackson, under the Green Onion restaurant.
