Get ready for an unforgettable night of straight ahead jazz with a side of funk as Dave Blinzinger and Way Out West hit the stage with their dynamic, genre-blending sound.

Led by tenor saxophonist Dave Blinzinger, this powerhouse lineup brings together some of the region's most exciting players: Don McKay on bass, Eli Swift on guitar, Michael Eddy on piano, Caelan MacKenzie on trombone, and Ram Sudama on drums.

Expect tight grooves, bold improvisation, and deep swing from a band that knows how to push boundaries while staying rooted in the jazz tradition. Whether you're a jazz purist or a funk lover, Way Out West delivers music that moves the spirit and stirs the soul.

Perfect for longtime fans and new listeners alike, this is one show you won't want to miss.
