Eric Rasmussen-alto saxophone, Russell Schmidt-piano, Ben Hedquist-bass, Rob Moore-drums. Eric Rasmussen and Russell Schmidt bring a new quartet to the Nash, performing works by pianist/composer Lennie Tristano.

Eric previously recorded three Tristano tribute albums for the SteepleChase label, and shares Russell’s passion in celebrating a great, yet underappreciated jazz icon.
