The Return of Sketchy Black Dog


Sketchy Black Dog, the band that proves jazz, classical and classic rock can co-exist and combine to produce beautiful music, is back to grace the stage of the Iridium in New York City. This is taking place on Thursday, February 2, with two sets at 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. The last time Sketchy (as it's known to its loyal followers) performed in the Big Apple, during the Winter Jazz Fest/APAP week, it packed the clubs with fans who whooped and hollered after each set.

Here's the lineup of marvelous musicians who make up this band:

Misha Piatigorsky, piano
Chris Wabich, drums
Danton Boller, bass
Monica Davis, violin
Hilary Castle, violin
Colin Benn, viola
Agnes Nagy, cello
