NYC-based saxophonist/composer Nathan Parker Smith leads an imaginative jazz tentet with a regular engagement at the West Village’s Fat Cat, one of New York’s most frequented jazz haunts.

During a rare stopover in Reno, Smith will give a performance of his work with an all-star cast of Reno’s finest, including Peter Epstein, Tony Cataldo, Leonard Niedhold, Andy Heglund, and Hans Halt. Bassist Sam Minaie – another current New Yorker and Reno-native – opens the show alongside David Ake, Paul Roth, Caleb Dolister, and guest trumpeter Louis Laurain from Paris, France.
