Hot & Cool Jazz: Venus & Mars featuring Roxy Coss and Lucas Pino

Sunday, June 18, 2023

Brubeck Jazz Summit Artistic Directors, and husband-and-wife tenor-sax power-couple Lucas Pino and Roxy Coss make their debut as co-band leaders. Venus & Mars is a modern jazz project and a counter-response to the old trope that “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” How do two woodwind players live together, let alone perform together? Come find out with us.

The rhythm section joining this duo will feature some of the scene’s top rising stars: Mike King on piano; Liany Mateo on bass; and Dan Pugach on drums.

No charge. Suggested donation: $10. Advance registration strongly recommended. Register online or call 203-762-6334.
