Sheldon Brown/
Ben Goldberg Quartet
Sheldon Brown and
Ben Goldberg have been making music together in a variety of groups for almost 25 years.
They formed a quartet, Papa’s Midnight Hop, in 1988, which performed their own original material, and have played together as members of Clarinet Thing (led by Beth Custer and also featuring Harvey Wainapel), Darren Johnston Quintet, Touch and Go (led by Vijay Anderson) and Goldberg, Brown Anderson Trio, and, of course, many of Graham Connah’s amazing large ensembles. More recently they’ve formed a quartet to perform the music of Herbie Nichols and Thelonious Monk.
They’ll be playing original pieces, music of Herbie Nichols and Thelonious Monk, with a large dose of improv.
