Tanner’s approach blends classical harmony with jazz sensibilities, creating long, winding builds and dynamic shifts that keep audiences hooked.
With his band he founded, Pure Octane, Tanner has opened for Sungazer and performed at the Yardbird Suite under the “Foundation Presents” series, paying tribute to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
The Leach Quintet’s upcoming set draws from Indigo Jam Unit, Yussef Dayes, Nujabes, and original compositions. Rooted in spiritual jazz and vamp-driven grooves, the music explores single melodic ideas through evolving textures, shifting rhythms, and surges of energy.
Our live Tuesday Jam is hosted by a musician and a band while audience members join in on the fun by jamming along on stage.
Musicians who want to participate in the Jam can purchase a “Jam Participant” ticket at a reduced cost.
All Jam Participants need to register at the door upon entry to the event.
