The Fred Fried/Bruce Abbott Quintet, Featuring Marcelle Gauvin

One of New England’s premier jazz ensembles will play works by such composers as George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mandel, Michel LeGrand, and Bill Evans. Guitarist Fred Fried says, “As musicians, we’ve been asked so many times about our favorite songs that we decided to showcase even more of the tunes we love to play.” You’ll find that many of their favorites are your favorites too! Featuring Fred Fried on 8-string guitar, Bruce Abbott on sax and flute, Marcelle Gauvin on vocals, Jerry Wilfong on bass, and Miki Matsuki on drums.
