Brent Gallaher - lighting the way with "Lightwave"

Sensational Tenor Saxophonist Brent Gallaher can be seen performing in various Cincinnati-area venues, including Chez Nora and The Blue Wisp. He plays in quartets as well as headline his own groups. In 2004, Brent introduced his dynamic, polished style of play on CD with his debut release of Vanessa's Song. As a musician, composer, writer, and teacher, Brent Gallaher is not one to sit still. He's a man on a mission, and this past March, he released his long-awaited follow up, Lightwave.

This album presents a magnificent lineup of extremely talented and progressive musicians; with Dan Karlsberg on keys, Steve Whipple on bass, Anthony "T" Lee on drums, and of course, Brent on Saxes. These guys have performed together numerous times, and the synergy between them is immeasurable.

This is The Jazz Half "Event of the Month", and the show starts at 8:30pm. Cover charge is $10. The Blue Wisp is located at 318 East 8th Street, Downtown. 513.241.9477.
