Hot & Cool Jazz: The Mark Zaleski Band, Featuring Glenn Zaleski — Re-Imagining Dave Brubeck

Join Wilton Library for the Mark Zaleski Band featuring Mark Zaleski on alto and soprano sax and his brother Glenn Zaleski on piano in a sextet that will re-imagine the music of Dave Brubeck. Zaleski’s recent album, Our Time: Reimagining Dave Brubeck (2021), celebrates Brubeck’s legacy and classic compositions with decidedly modern arrangements that reflect Zaleski’s singular, nuanced approach. Illuminating these selections is a seasoned ensemble with seamless interplay no doubt informed by the deep-rooted history between Zaleski and his musical compatriots.

Hot & Cool Jazz is brought to you by the generosity of the Estate of James (Tom) and Alice Brown.
