One of Colorado’s favorite musicians keeping alive the tradition of hardbop jazz, Derek Banach and his Quintet returns to the Nocturne stage for this Friday night residency. For this month-long series, Derek and his quintet will be celebrating the iconic trumpet and saxophone pairings of the 1950s, ’60s, and beyond; names like Clifford Brown and Harold Land, Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter, Kenny Dorham and Joe Henderson, and Tom Harrell and Bob Berg. Derek will be joined by Eric Erhardt (saxophone), Tom Amend and Dave Hanson (piano), Andrew Rose (bass), and Todd Reid (drums).

Colorado native Derek Banach has performed professionally for 30 years in a variety of settings from Jazz to Hip-Hop, Salsa, Classical, and Reggae. His roots are firmly set in the Hard-Bop stylings of 60’s period icons such as Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Woody Shaw. Derek’s quintet album, ‘Tugende’ displays his composing talents and personal approach to trumpet playing. He has recorded with Italian producers Nicola Conte, Quintetto X, and Paul Mulliken and has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Richie Cole, Joe Bonner and Ron Miles.
