Nocturne: The Louisa Amend Quintet

Friday nights in September! Nocturne is delighted to welcome Louisa Amend back to the Nocturne stage for a four-week residency. This series’ focus is storytelling through music, including beautiful renditions of jazz standards by lyricists like Johnny Mercer and Cole Porter; instrumental compositions by artists such as Keith Jarrett, Kenny Barron, Chick Corea, and Antonio Carlos Jobim set with lyrics by others (and some by Louisa herself); and some impactful songs from outside the traditional jazz idiom, including Joni Mitchell, Allen Toussaint, Bill Withers, and Bonnie Raitt.

For the first show on September 6, Louisa will be joined by Tom Amend (piano), Steve Kovalcheck (guitar), Patrick McDevitt (bass), and Dru Heller (drums).
