The GMT Jazz Collective is a mid-sized ensemble that features the arrangements of, and is led by multi-intrumentalist Gerald M. Thomas. While largely steeped in the jazz tradition, the styles incorporated into the performances are wide-ranging, including Afro-Cuban, Cumbia, Salsa, R & B, Funk, Reggae, and Gospel.The songs chosen are very familiar, but all done in very creative, accessible ways.
The Fourth Hornsman is the feature vehicle for different combinations of the best brass and reed players that Gerald has performed with over the years. Often these players have played together in various pairings for decades. Each player has their own professional, unique and inviting sound. While having individual tones well suited for rotating features, their sound together is beautiful.
Don’t miss this exceptional musical experience! The lineup includes Gerald M. Thomas on bass, Jack Glottman on piano, Bruce Arnold on guitar, Daniel Persaud on drums and Eduardo Sanchez on percussion.
This event will also introduce The Fourth Hornsman, featuring:

Our special guest vocalist for the night will be Barbara Waldron.
The show takes place on Saturday, March 29th, 2025, at 7:30pm EST.
Sneak Peek
About
New York Saxophonist, Ed Jackson, followed his dream in 2011 after standing in an unfinished office basement, and at which point dormant forces came alive as he visualized a stage and jazz club setup. He knew that this would be a huge undertaking, but the passion was there, and realized that if he didn’t go ahead and follow this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Situated in Queens New York , the venue offers live monthly jazz events featuring the Ed Jackson Quartet as well as other world class artist and groups. The Jackson Room also happens to be in the neighborhood where he grew up. This particular area of Queens in the town of St Albans, was home to an uncanny number of musicians including Count Basie, Fats Waller, Illinois Jacquet, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Lenny White, Marcus Miller to name a few. In fact, John Coltrane lived on Mexico street which is just a few blocks away from the venue.
