# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Jacob William's Trio Spanning
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: On April 26th, bassist Jacob William convenes his Trio Spanning at the QArts Gallery (1229 Hancock St, Quincy) for an evening of spontaneous musical creation. 

Born in Chennai and raised in Bangalore, India, Jacob began playing bass guitar in his teens and was quickly performing with forward-thinking jazz musicians throughout India. He studied finance and economics before a music scholarship brought him to the US in 1991. He studied jazz bass at Berklee and holds a Master of Arts in Music from Wesleyan, where he continued studies in contemporary jazz and improvised music while also training in South Indian Carnatic music and percussion. 

He has performed and recorded with a very wide array of luminaries in jazz and improvised music. Jacob’s performances span continents, with appearances in Asia, Europe, and the United States, including Indian National Television and Radio DRS in Zurich. He has contributed to over 20 recordings, with releases on labels such as Warner, Intuition, Magnasound, Not Two, and Ayler Records. ​As an educator, he has taught at Wesleyan University, Bridgewater State University, and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

At QArts, he’ll be joined by Cuban-born drummer Francisco Mela, whose sweeping command of Afro-Cuban rhythm and modern jazz drumming have enriched the bands of such jazz luminaries as McCoy Tyner, Joe Lovano and Kenny Barron, and Jim Hobbs, a Boston-based alto saxophonist and improviser who has spent decades building a raw, lyrical, playful sound in the Fully Celebrated Orchestra and other projects. 

William and Mela have only recently begun to explore sound together, but have already proven themselves a formidable and adventurous unit. William and Hobbs have a deep musical relationship, having played together in various configurations for decades. The three will come together for the first time on April 26th with no compositions, no arrangements, and no map but with a shared commitment to deep listening, spontaneous creation and newfound understanding. 

This concert is presented with generous support from the Quincy Arts Council.

Q Arts Gallery is located a very short walk from Quincy Center station on the Red Line. Street parking is free on Sundays.

$15 in advance, $20 at the door. $10 for students. $5 for EBT/WIC cardholders. Free for kids under 18.
