Verve Quintet

The Verve Quintet delivers an authentic tribute to the classic Blue Note and hard bop tradition that defined jazz's golden era of the 1960s. Led by Aaron Germain on bass, this accomplished quintet features Adam Klipple on piano, Andrew Dixon on tenor saxophone, Daniel Herrera on trumpet, and JPaul Macklin on drums.
