6:30-10:30: Chuck Manning and Sal Marquez

"Manning is a fine inventive tenor player. With Joe Henderson as his baseline, he plays a gorgeous ballad, can blow some brilliant and slightly understated post-bop frenzy, and can lay out the bop lines fresh….No matter what the context, tenor Manning’s mix of smarts and heart will get to you — he always seems to work out just the right solo for the moment" – LAWeekly.
Chuck has been fortunate to have shared the stage or recorded with such diverse musicians as Albert "Tootie" Heath, Anthony Wilson, Bob Sheppard, Bob Summers, Branford Marsalis, Cedar Walton, Charlie Haden, Conte Condoli, Dave Carpenter, Dave Koonse, Eric Reed, Ravi Coltrane, Steve Huffsteter, Tamir Hendelman – to name a few. www.chuckmanning.com
