It’s unreal to think that the Angry Man of Jazz would have celebrated his 101st birthday on April 22nd. This Sunday, longtime local jazzman Michael Ross will lead his jazz quintet that features the likes of Spain-based pianist Pablo Arencibia, drummer John Jenkins, Daniel Jordan, and David Pate, both sharing flute and saxophone duties.
The Michael Ross 5 hosts this daytime gig at HCC Ybor Mainstage Theatre on Sunday, April 30 at 3 p.m.
Ross will also be throwing a few of his original compositions into the mix, so if you’re looking for a good palate cleanser before you head down to see Joe Russo’s Almost Dead at Gasparilla Music Festival, or New Edition at Amalie Arena, look no further.
