We kick off the '26/'27 run of Martini Jazz Lounge with GIL Jazz. GIL Jazz evolved from a collection of musicians who met at Transfer and formed an ensemble in 2019. Joel Lehman will be leading the charge on trumpet and vocals with the Dwayne Williams on bass, Sam Steffke on keys, Steve Peplin doing double duty and alternating between guitar AND drums, Artrell LeFlore on sax, and likely some other sit-ins.

Martini Jazz Lounge, every Thursday October thru May, 6:30 to close. Martinis and Cosmos, $8. Cover, $0.

Next week: Tues: Jacobson, Bayles, Million Organ Trio; Thurs: July Wood
