We are thrilled to announce the debut of the New York Standard Quartet (David Berkman, piano, Tim Armacost, saxes and Gene Jackson drums) at SMOKE JAZZ CLUB, February 27, 28th–with Special Guests Ray Drummond bass and Robin Eubanks, trombone) and March 1st (with Special Guests Steve Wilson sax and Ed Howard bass).
This is a band that I’ve been performing with for 10 years! Interpreting standards and playing arrangements and compositions inspired by standards. 4 CDs with our fifth due out next summer, 9 tours of Japan as well as other performances in Asia, Europe, the U.K. and around the United States and we’re still going strong!

It’s a 3-day weekend spectacular at Smoke. Smoke is one of New York’s best jazz clubs, a beautiful intimate atmosphere to hear some of the today’s top jazz groups with excellent food. Should be a great weekend and I hope you can be there with us.
Sets are 7, 9 and 10:30 on all three nights. For the first two sets, a dinner reservation is required. Please visit their website for more information:
