The Derek Banach Quintet

We are delighted to welcome back to the Nocturne stage trumpeter Derek Banach with his Quintet for this special one-time performance. A staple of the Denver jazz scene for decades, Derek's unmistakable sound evokes the iconic golden era of this American art form. For this one-off show, Derek will be highlighting the romantic side of the American Songbook with an all-star lineup of local musicians: Todd Reid (drums), Tom Amend (piano), Andrew Rose (bass), and Jeremy Wendelin (saxophone). 

Colorado native Derek Banach has performed professionally for 30 years in various settings, from Jazz to Hip-Hop, Salsa, Classical, and Reggae. His roots are firmly set in the Hard-Bop stylings of 60's period icons such as Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Woody Shaw. Derek's quintet album, 'Tugende' displays his composing talents and personal approach to trumpet playing. He has recorded with Italian producers Nicola Conte, Quintetto X, and Paul Mulliken and has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Richie Cole, Joe Bonner, and Ron Miles.

Show Times:  Set 1: 6:30-7:45 pm |  Set 2: 8:45-10:00 pm
