Lewis Nash's trio reputation may be best expressed by his decade-long membership in the Tommy Flanagan Trio. The legendary Flanagan was known to have preferred 'the intuitive, always-ready Nash to any other drummer.' Along with Flanagan on piano and Peter Washington on bass, the trio created some of the most memorable jazz recordings of the 1990s. This intimate soiree performance by the Lewis Nash Classic Trio with Peter Washington on bass and a world-renowned surprise guest on piano takes place in an elegant high-rise condo overlooking the Phoenix Japanese Friendship Garden. Complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres will help to make this a memorable experience. Limited to 70 guests.

Hearing a great big band at The Nash is an exhilarating experience!

Pelt forged a bond with the Mingus Big Band early in his career and today performs frequently in the Roy Hargrove Big Band, The Village Vanguard Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Big Band. Pelt is currently touring throughout the United States and Europe in support of his latest release, "Make Noise!" (Highnote Records 2017). This big band show is the perfect way to cap off The Nash 6th Anniversary festivities.
