Things to do in Denver when you're gay: Tom Harrell Quintet at Dazzle


The Tom Harrell Quintet comes to Denver's Dazzle jazz club February 9-12.

A veteran jazz trumpeter, composer, arranger and bandleader, whose work Newsweek described as “pure melodic genius,” Tom Harrell has steadily garnered international acclaim over the forty-plus years of his career. In 2008, Harrell received his second SESAC Jazz Award for 'Light On', which reached number one on jazz radio charts last fall. A frequent favorite in Down Beat and Jazz Times magazines’ Critics and Readers Polls, Harrell is known for his mellifluous sound and is widely regarded as one of the most stylistically versatile and creative improvisers and composers working today.
