Kasey Knudsen and Harvey Wainapel Quartet

Kasey Knudsen and Harvey Wainapel Quartet at Bird & Beckett features two highly accomplished saxophonists joining forces across generations in a new chordless quartet with bassist John Wiitala and drummer Jon Arkin, tailored to the bookstore’s intimate Glen Park room. Drawing on a thoughtfully selected repertoire that works without piano or guitar, they perform music that is at once accessible and fascinating in its complexity, showcasing their mastery of saxophones and other wind instruments, long‑standing mutual admiration, and deep experience across diverse genres in this public debut of their unique quartet.
