Joe Block Quintet: There Is Always Hope Album Release Show

Pianist, composer, and bandleader Joe Block celebrates the release of There Is Always Hope, his debut album leading his own ensemble, with a live performance at Black Cat. Expect bright, cathartic modern jazz built on original compositions, deep swing, and the kind of ensemble chemistry that lifts the whole room. Two shows: 7:00 PM (doors at 6:00) and 9:30 PM (bar at 6:00, doors at 8:45).
