Eric Marienthal

Grammy-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal, associated with both the Chick Corea Elektric Band and Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, treats jazz fans to a New Year's treat at Cotton Club. This time sees four nights of gigs with Mitchel Forman on the keyboards, Ron Jenkins on the bass and Lionel Cordew taking care of the drums, with the second show on December 31 also functioning as a countdown party. Those partial to sax wizardry and heartful grooves should find this one perfect for closing out 2015 in style.
