Cherry Street Music will transform its intimate concert hall into a cozy jazz club on Friday, November 7 at 7:30PM with The Casey Scheuerell Quintet at The Allen Center (35 Webster Street, West Newton).
A legend among drummers, Casey Scheuerell has performed around the world with artists including Jean-Luc Ponty, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. A longtime member of the Berklee College of Music percussion faculty, Scheuerell has mentored generations of top players. For this performance, he’ll be joined by four acclaimed Berklee colleagues:
- Tim Ray – Pianist, composer, and arranger best known as Tony Bennett’s pianist and musical director until Bennett’s 2020 retirement.
- Marshall Wood – Veteran jazz bassist with more than 40 years of experience performing alongside Tony Bennett, Dizzy Gillespie, and Anita O’Day.
- Owen Leeuw – Rising saxophonist from Maynard, MA, and current Berklee student making his mark in the Boston jazz scene.
- Christine Fawson – Internationally recognized vocalist and trumpeter hailed by DownBeat Magazine as “a distinctive performer with compelling dynamism.”
