BRANFORD MARSALIS QUARTET: BELONGING TOUR
7:30pm-9:30pm, 864 Bunting Ave.
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most

influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, the Quartet made it's Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 ECM album of the same name. The New York Times commented “Marsalis has tackled imposing jazz masterworks before...but at its best, his 'Belonging' goes deeper...its a performance that both honors and amplifies.” John Zeugner captured the impact of the Quartet in a review of a live performance, calling it “casually confident, professional, cerebral, and supercharged with energy. The Branford Marsalis Quartet…was all of those adjectives and more.”

WEST SLOPE PEOPLE'S FORUM

On April 11, please join us for the West Slope

People’s Forum! Those of us who live in western Colorado face tough choices. Everything feels expensive, and many of us live paycheck to paycheck. Affordability isn’t a buzzword — it’s the difference between paying for groceries or a doctor visit. Adding insult to injury, federal budget cuts have undermined basic services for health care, food assistance, child care, and affordable electricity. Will you join us at the Avalon Theatre in downtown Grand Junction on April 11 between 2 and 4 pm for a People’s Forum to hold our candidates accountable for putting Care over Cuts? By standing together, we can keep our hospitals open, put food on our kids’ plates, help farmers stay in business, maintain affordable electricity, and keep public lands in public hands.
