The Show:

Experience a rare and captivating night of live jazz with the Buddy Wells Trio — featuring Reza Khota and Josh Nemaire.

This unique ensemble offers something truly special: a trio with no drums — just two guitars and a horn. The absence of drums opens up a spacious and intimate sound where every note breathes, every melody is heard clearly, and the musicians engage in a deep musical conversation. It is a rare concert format that allows audiences to experience jazz in its most nuanced and expressive form.

Dinner is served from 7:00 PM, giving you time to relax, enjoy a delicious meal, and settle into the atmosphere before the performance begins. The music starts at 8:00 PM, when the trio takes the stage for an intimate listening experience filled with beautiful melodies, bold improvisation, and extraordinary interplay.

This is the kind of performance best enjoyed up close — great food, a warm room, and world-class musicians creating music in the moment.
