Brian Friedland’s Surprise Band / Dan Rosenthal & Eric Hofbauer Quartet

Extra Thursday show in the Jazz Sundays series!

Series curator Brian Friedland has put together a special band that will play all-new original material and covers around a surprise theme, wide ranging in style and unlikely to have been visited by other Jazz groups.

For the second set, trumpet player Dan Rosenthal is regularly on Boston bandstands with Charlie Kohlhase’s Explorers Club, the Ayn Inserto Jazz Orchestra, the Fernando Huergo Big Band, among many others. He was also a longtime member of Russ Gershon’s Either/Orchestra, and sometimes plays in a family band with his father, bluegrass legend Phil Rosenthal. Guitarist Eric Hofbauer performs with Charlie Kohlhase’s Explorers Club, Tony Malaby’s Firebath, the Dylan Jack Quartet and many others. Chair of Jazz Studies at Longy School of Music, he also runs the Creative Nation Music label.

Jazz Sundays at The Square Root brings together Boston’s best jazz artists in an intimate restaurant setting for performances and themed jams.
