The Sharp Five Jazz Collective is a group of experienced musicians who came together because of their mutual desire to play the post-bop jazz of the late 50’s and early 60’s. While all the members play in numerous other ensembles, this is the one where they can play the music they love the most. Their repertoire includes music by Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley and other jazz greats of that era, and also includes songs by more modern artists such as Roy Hargrove and Christian McBride that carry the same great vibe. The group was conceived as a collective to provide an opportunity for many like-minded players to participate and share in bringing this remarkable music to audiences in the Northwest Washington.
