SAT 8 & 9:30 - Jon Cowherd Quartet w/Steve Cardenas, Tony Scherr, Adam Cruz
About This Event
The Jon Cowherd Quartet — with guitarist Steve Cardenas, bassist/guitarist Tony Scherr and drummer Adam Cruz — performs at Bar Bayeux. Cowherd’s composing and arranging, Cardenas’s lean toward ambient and freer forms, Scherr’s jazz–folk sensibility and Cruz’s steady, subtly Latin-inflected time point to a set shaped by close listening and ensemble-driven development.
