Jazzs greatest improvisers create music that packs an emotional punch. Its a lesson that tenor saxophonist Anton Schwartz learned well. Schwartzs Quintet is Winner of 2016 Northwest Acoustic Jazz Ensemble of the Year. Their latest album, Flash Mob, spent eight weeks in jazz radios Top 10 and earned a four-star review in Down Beat magazine, reinforcing Schwartzs reputation as a passionate but poised improviser and smart purveyor of captivating melodies. Schwartz has performed at jazzs most prestigious clubs and festivals, including the Blue Note and Dizzys (NYC), Blues Alley (DC), Yoshis (Oakland), Jazz Alley (Seattle), and the Monterey Jazz Festival. Recent engagements include sold-out shows at Jazz at Lincoln Center and a feature as soloist with the Boston Pops in Boston Symphony Hall.
