Bobby Wiens Quartet: Eastern Rebellion Project

Join us for this special series featuring drummer Bobby Wiens and his band as they celebrate the music of the iconic Eastern Rebellion. Formed in 1974, Eastern Rebellion featured pianist Cedar Walton and drummer Billy Higgins as the group leaders. At different points in its existence, personnel included Clifford Jordan, George Coleman, Sam Jones, Bob Berg, and Curtis Fuller, all contributing to the sound of this supergroup. Bobby will be joined at Nocturne throughout the month of April by a stellar lineup including: Taylor Clay (saxophone), Ben Markley (piano), and Seth Lewis (bass).
