The Green Room in Union Square is presenting a drummerless version of the Olson Pingrey Quartet.
The OPQ (which also includes drummer Austin McMahon) say this about their music: "[We] started as a tribute to the subtle and strangely subversive modernism of the Gerry Mulligan/Bob Brookmeyer quartet. We've since found something interesting by continuing that tradition. You'll find our music to be lighthearted, but never frivolous, as well as rigorous but never academic. We combine the harmonic freedom of free jazz with the melodic vocabulary of hard bop and the quirky individualism of early swing."
