($20-$30 | 7pm & 9pm Shows) Chicago-based pianist Peter Saxe returns to The Century Room with an all-star band as they play the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Duke Ellington is largely regarded as the most important composer and bandleader in the history of jazz. Billy Strayhorn, his right-hand man, was an integral part of the sound and direction of the Ellington band, as he and the Duke worked together through the years composing and arranging together. The story of both of these composers is intertwined, culminating in an incredible career of music that the Peter Saxe quartet will bring to life on the Century Room stage.

**The Adams Quartet**

The Adams quartet stems from the merger of two New York-based projects from pianist, Nicki Adams – the Prism trio and the Nicki and Patrick Adams duo. Co—led by brothers Nicki and Patrick, the quartet expands upon the synthesis of classical and jazz styles Patrick and Nicki developed on their album, Lynx (Sunnyside records 2021) of which reviewer, Maruizio Zerbo, wrote at All About Jazz: “With this record, the two New York musicians demonstrate that they are getting out of the cage (now in fashion) of the canonical jazz reinterpretation, going beyond the limits of diligent work and respect for tradition. They are undoubtedly personalities of great musical depth, destined to keep themselves out of the conventions in force.” Joined by bassist Eddy Khaimovich and drummer Evan Hyde, who have performed with a veritable “who’s who” in the jazz world including Roy Hargrove, James Moody, Fred Hersch and Paquito D’Rivera (to name a few), the quartet adds a deep conversational rapport to the orchestral complexity of the ensemble. In their own sound and their work in the Adams quartet, Nicki, Eddy, Patrick and Evan have carved a path for the merger of Cuban, African, American and European musical traditions that represent the fabric of life in NYC. Their work reflects their passion for craft, innovation and joy.

Lady Haha also produces comedy-variety shows in Tucson with an emphasis on diversity and all genres of comedy.

We’re proud to say we are the first and only comedy open mic of its kind—IN THE WORLD—right here in little ol’ Tucson, AZ. We hope to see more of these popping up!
