Pete Christlieb Quintet at Langham Huntington Nov 28
The Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena is partnering with the American Jazz Institute to present the Pete Christlieb Quintet in the hotel’s Lobby Lounge from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28.
Christlieb is known for his tenor sax work in television, motion picture soundtracks and recordings and performed in Doc Severinsen’s band for 20 years on the “Tonight” show. On that show Christlieb was part of the highly regarded sidemen Snooky Young, Clark Terry, Conte Candoli and Tommy Newsome.
Joining Christlieb will be Jim Hughart on bass, Ron Hershewe on piano, Paul Kreibich on drums and Linda Christlieb on trombone.
Giving a resume report of these jazz stars would need several pages and then only begin to tell the story. Names like Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits are a scant few stars these musicians have performed with.
This is the final concert in the 2009 Jazz Series that the Langham Huntington has offered in conjunction with the American Jazz Institute. AJI is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enrichment and enhancement of the appreciation of jazz music, something it terms as “a universal language, understood by all.”
The Lobby Lounge is an intimate setting seating just 70 guests. Cocktails and drinks will be available prior to the Quintet’s appearance and during an intermission period.
Tickets for this event are $20 and include complimentary valet parking at the hotel. Special room and dinner packages are also being offered. For reservations, please call (626) 568-3900 or visit pasadenalanghamhotels.com
The Langham Huntington Hotel is located at 1401 S. Oak Knoll Ave., Pasadena.
