About
“Mr. Bernstein is a fluidly improvising guitarist in the post-bop tradition, with control over harmony and a beautiful sound.” —The New York Times
“An expressive instrumentalist, Cherry has a hip, melodic approach that is a refreshing contrast to guitarists who frequently resort to playing ‘finger music’, the execution of rapid streams of notes that serve no musical purpose other than to fill space” —JazzTimes
Acclaimed jazz guitarists Peter Bernstein & Ed Cherry bring their formidable quartet to Zinc on Monday, May 29. They’re supported by bassist Gary Wang and drummer Anwar Marshall.
