Peter Apfelbaum & Sparkler at Kuumbwa Jazz Center

About

Aside from being an acclaimed tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger, Peter Apfelbaum has also branched over to a rock audience, due to his time playing with Phish, the Trey Anastasio Band and when his group, The Hieroglyphics Ensemble, was opening for the Grateful Dead. He brings this jam-band mentality to sophisticated and jazzy heights with his new band, Sparkler, featuring Natalie Cressman (trombone/bass/vocals), Jill Ryan (alto saxophone/vocals), Will Bernard (guitar/bass), Barney McAll (keyboards/percussion), and Willard Dyson (drums).
