Concerts & Gigs Frank Martin & Michael O’Neill Quartet
Frank Martin and Michael O’Neill bring their quartet to Keys Jazz Bistro for an evening rooted in musical travels. The program pulls from compositions inspired by destinations spanning Bangalore’s markets, Trinidad’s rhythms, the peaks of Kilimanjaro, and the sacred spaces of Tikal. It’s the kind of set that rewards attentive listening, each piece carrying the texture of a specific place and moment. Admission is $30.
