The Powell Brothers honor Coltrane and Miles

About

Colorado-based trumpeter Jonathan Powell and his brother Jeremy Powell , a Brooklyn-based saxophonist, bring a high-octane quintet to Nocturne as they celebrate the 100th birthdays of John Coltrane and Miles Davis in a fiery finale to their centennial year. Together, the brothers draw on their varied experiences and eclectic musical background to present a quintet centered on a unique interplay that only the bond between brothers can provide. Grammy-nominated NYC bassist Edward Perez is a special guest for these two shows. A veteran of New York’s jazz and Latin music scenes, Jonathan Powell spent a decade performing with Eddie Palmieri, and has performed with Sam Rivers, Reggie Workman, Miguel Zenón, Maria Schneider, Darcy James Argue, Oscar Hernández & Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ricky Martin, and many others. He has appeared on more than a dozen Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning recordings and was named Best Latin Jazz Trumpeter by the Latin Jazz Corner.
