Join us for a special Jazz At The Cherry performance as the Lighthouse Jazz Quartet Plus One celebrates the release of its new vinyl recording, Live at the Cherry Center, made during their performance on February 9, 2025. The recording captures a memorable Jazz At The Cherry concert and now stands as a lasting tribute to one of the Monterey Peninsula’s most venerable jazz leaders and its exceptionable musicians. This beautiful album was generously produced by Pacific Grove’s Wild Fish Restaurant.

Led by Bob Phillips, the ensemble—Dennis Murphy, Mike Shannon, Stu Reynolds, and Paul Contos—will perform many of the standout selections from that recording, along with an engaging program of jazz standards and other audience favorites.

The afternoon will also feature the group’s acclaimed Legacy Program, highlighting talented young musicians who have been mentored by these distinguished artists. It is a fitting celebration of the Peninsula’s rich jazz tradition—honoring both the masters who have shaped it and the next generation who will carry it forward.

Whether you’ve followed these musicians for years or are discovering them for the first time, this promises to be a memorable afternoon of outstanding music, camaraderie, and celebration.

Sunday, September 6th, at 2pm. Doors open at 1pm for wine and light fare (included in the $45 ticket price.) Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.com.
