The Craig Handy Quartet Plays Rue 57, 10/12

Tomorrow, October 12, the Craig Handy Quartet will play at Rue 57 in New York City. The quartet consists of Matt Chertkoff on guitar, Kyle Kholer on organ, Mclenty Hunter on drums, and Craig Handy on saxophone.

"Saxophonist Craig Handy is a musician's musician. Those "in the know" know about him, which is why he's been a first call player in New York for over two decades. He is a careful, thoughtful improviser-expansive and precise. His solos build on a rich knowledge of the tradition at the same time as they often set out for the edge, walk it, but never fall off. While he derives portions of his vocabulary from the 'Trane/Shorter axis, there is a shrewd depth and broadness to his playing."
