The Paul Del Nero Quintet

August 15, 2024 6:00 pm

This year Paul returns with his quintet to the Herreshoff Museum's Summer Sunset Concert Series. The group will be recreating the sound of the classic quintet recordings captured 1950’s and 1960’s by labels such as Blue Note and Verve. The classic quintet features the front line of Jeff Stout on trumpet, Arnie Krakowsky on tenor saxophone. John Wilkins on guitar, Gary Johnson on drums and Paul on bass round out the rhythm section. And it promises to be a swinging evening of straight ahead jazz under the tent at sunset on Herreshoff's beautiful waterfront. Paul Del Nero has a deep appreciation and talent not only for classic jazz, but also for classic yachts designed and built in this same period. He has owned the Herreshoff S Boat, "Vindex" for the past 26 years, and he continues to sail and race it on Narragansett Bay.

Concerts will be held under the tent on the HMM Waterfront, rain or shine. You are welcome to bring your own lawn chairs, but we also provide tables, chairs, and picnic tables on-site for your convenience. Restrooms are available as well. Please note that online ticket sales close at 3:30pm on the day of the event. Full series passes are available for Museum Members Only from any concert's ticket page. Reliance Society and Afterguard Members can attend at no cost by RSVPing ahead of time. For more information, check out our Music Series FAQ.
