We’re thrilled to feature a performance by Jill Connolly with the Eugene Uman Quartet. Jill Connolly, Wes Brown, Claire Arenius and Eugene Uman have been performing together for many years. Eugene and Claire appear on Jill’s beautiful 2005 recording, Venus in Transit. This band of long-time musical friends loves to groove, especially when propelled by drum legend, Claire Arenius and enhanced by the spirited solos by trumpeter Don Anderson.
