Nick Finzer brings the new album "Hear & Now" to the Nashville Jazz Workshop on Mar. 3, at 8pm. Though the title – which the album shares with the gifted and expressive sextet that Finzer has led since his debut release in 2013 – suggests an alertness to the present time and place, Finzer’s music also evokes a need and hope for change, a defiant optimism that pits love against the forces of oppression. Joining Finzer for this date will be superb pianist Matt Endahl, bassist and NJW co-founder Roger Spencer, and one of Nashville's top drummers: Marcus Finnie. Get your tickets now, you won't want to miss this show, it'll be a night to remember!
