Guitar Masters Series : Paul Bollenback Trio at Zinc Bar

"soulful, sophisticated and spiritual..." —JazzTimes

Acclaimed jazz guitarist Paul Bollenback brings his formidable trio to Zinc jazz club on Monday, August 20. He's supported by bassist Harvie S and drummer Tommy Campbell.

In addition to his continued associations with Gary Bartz, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Joey DeFrancesco, Joe Locke, and East Meets Jazz, Paul continues to tour with his own groups....
