Monkfish Concert Series

Tyler’s NEW! Quintet brings a refreshing sense of curiosity to the Monkfish Concert Series, blending free improvisation, Appalachian old-time traditions and straight-ahead jazz into a set that refuses to settle into one lane. Led by baritone and melody saxophonist Tyler White, the chordless quintet trades the usual harmonic framework for a more open conversation between saxophones, trombone, bass and drums. The result is a performance built around listening, experimentation and unexpected turns rather than predictable arrangements. Held in the intimate Jazz Baroness Room at The Mad Monkfish, this is a smart choice for anyone looking to hear adventurous jazz without the formality of a concert hall. It is the kind of midweek show that rewards arriving curious and staying for the musical detours.
