Who's playing

Gunnar Gidner is a saxophonist based in Cincinnati who studied at CCM and at UMKC in Kansas City. He grew up playing in the Blue Wisp Jazz Club's young players' group. His taste runs to swing, bebop and hard bop, and he also plays bossa nova, funk and originals. He leads his own quartet and trio around town.

What to expect

A live jazz set from one act on The Johnson Foundation stage, inside a glass-enclosed tent on the plaza. Winterhaus has a full bar and lounge seating, so people drink, talk and listen in the same room. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the music sits at the center of the evening.

Why go

The series gives local jazz players a regular stage in the middle of Downtown, and Gidner is a good example of the talent it books. Swing, bebop and hard bop played in a warm tent make a good cold-weather stop. It also works as the start of a night out in the Fountain District.
