The David Mesquitic Quintet

We are delighted to welcome back to the Nocturne stage bandleader David Mesquitic as he leads a quintet of all-star musicians. The band is a vibrant ensemble blending hard bop, blues, swing, and Latin influences. Expanding upon the acclaimed David Mesquitic Trio, the Quintet adds two horn players, enriching the sound with greater color, energy, and compositional possibilities. Expect to hear a captivating blend of original compositions, fresh arrangements, and classic jazz quintet repertoire from the last century. David will be joined by an all-star lineup of local musicians.

Award winning pianist David Mesquitic is a composer and educator committed to the intergenerational transfer of the knowledge, history, and traditions of jazz.
