Vasilis Xenopoulos with The Aaron Moloney TrioJune 1st, 2026

Ticket link: https://wegottickets.com/f/21083

Featuring: Aaron Moloney (drums), Keenan Ngo (piano) & Mark Trounson (double bass)

Saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos is one of the most accomplished Greek jazz musicians of his generation and a genuine representative of straight ahead jazz. London became his permanent home after graduating with honors from the Berklee College of Music in Boston and gradually established himself as one of London’s up and coming jazz saxophonists. He has worked with some of the best musicians of the International Jazz Scene as a band leader, a section leader and as a guest soloist at various projects.

In 2009 he formed “The Xtet” and their debut album “Loud City” containing 8 original compositions was released on 33Jazz Records in 2011. Two years later he released his second album “The Wind Machine” under the same label, which gained some fine reviews in the top British media such as The Times and BBC radio 3.

In 2017 Nigel Price and Xenopoulos created the XPQ (Xenopoulos/Price Quartet) and recorded their first album under that brand, “Sidekicks” which celebrates some of the most successful guitar/sax pairings in the history of jazz.

B.D. LenzApril 13th, 2026

Ticket link: https://wegottickets.com/event/696738

Featuring Kim Cypher (sax), Mike Green (bass) and Mike Cypher (drums)

Mix the sophistication of jazz, the grit of Blues, and the grooves of funk and soul, and you have the recipe for contempo-jazz guitarist B.D. Lenz. The New Jersey native has played guitar since his early teens, is a graduate of Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, and has studied with such masters as Mike Stern, Vic Juris, and Charlie Banacos along the way.

Lenz has released 13 highly-acclaimed recordings as a leader featuring greats such as Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Will Lee, Joel Rosenblatt, & Mark Egan. He says of his music, “ I work really hard on my writing. It’s important that the virtuosic musicianship of my band members have a context in which to show it off.” His latest studio recording, Manifesto, was a crowd funded effort that broke into both the Jazz and Jam radio charts.

His music has also been featured in hundreds of TV shows globally including Breaking Bad (AMC), Catfish (MTV), Pawn Stars (History), Chicago Fire (NBC), Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo), and Young Sheldon (CBS) to name just a few.

Lenz and crew have played thousands of gigs internationally. Select venues include Jazz at Lincoln Center (NYC), Iridium (NYC), Birmingham Jazz Festival (UK), Rochester Jazz Festival (NY), Swansea Jazz (Wales), Hull Jazz Festival (UK), Musikfest (Pa), Pizza Express (London UK), Scott’s Jazz (Belfast NI), Café Miles (Amersfoort NL), Deer Head Inn (Pa), The Verdict (UK), 27b Flat (Brugge BE), Jazzkeller (Frankfurt DE), PBS TV, and BBC Cambridge.
