Patrick Wolff Bebop Truth Quartet

Patrick Wolff at Specs features the saxophonist and clarinetist with Keith Saunders on piano, Eric Markowitz on bass, and Austin Harris on drums for an intimate North Beach quartet set. Wolff is a longtime figure in the New York and San Francisco Jazz scenes who has performed or recorded with Albert “Tootie” Heath, Matt Wilson, Grant Stewart, Louis Moholo-Moholo, George Cables, and Dena DeRose; with Saunders’ harmonic fluency, Markowitz’s steady acoustic-bass foundation, and Harris’s responsive drumming, the group’s Bebop Truth sound centers on hard swing, melodic improvisation, and deep small-combo interplay.
