Jordan Leicht & Michael Gutierrez Quintet

$10 cover

“Two of Los Angeles’ most innovative young lions, saxophonist Jordan Leicht and trumpeter Michael Gutierrez are finally coming together with their debut Quintet. Gutierrez and Leicht began playing together in 2014 while studying at California State University, Northridge. They immediately found admiration in each other’s musical capabilities and bonded over their shared jazz heroes John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley, Sonny Rollins, Woody Shaw, and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. 10 years and hundreds of performances later, the two have decided to create a group featuring their own modern approach to ‘straight ahead’ jazz.”
