Saturday with The McPherson & Stafford Quintet @ Keystone Korner - Baltimore

Join me to see sixty year veteran alto saxman and 2020 Jazz Times Magazine Artist of The Year Charles McPherson with his quintet which includes world renown trumpet player Terell Stafford. Charles is celebrating his 86th birthday and is as energetic as ever. Wynton Marsalis says: “Charles is the very definition of excellence in our music. He’s the definitive master on his instrument. He plays with exceptional harmonic accuracy and sophistication. He performs free-flowing, melodic and thematically developed solos with unbelievable fire and an unparalleled depth of soul.”

The first set starts at 6pm. I'll arrive by 5pm for dining (the food is quite good) and be seated at Table 93.

You can get your seats (Reserved/$55 with unobstructed view or General Admission/$45 with obstructed view and/or clear view of closed circuit monitor) in one of two ways:

The first is by using the instantseats.com link below. If you wish to sit near me choose reserved seating at Table 21 or a nearby table when using the link. SEE THE PHOTO BELOW

The second method is to buy a Keystone Korner Kard for $135 which provides premium seating at any performance for 5 concerts. Details about the Kard are here: https://www.keystonekornerbaltimore.com/keystone-kard-membership
One can reserve seats at a table when using the Kard by calling the club (410-946-6726) PRIOR TO ARRIVING. If you wish to sit near me when reserving a seat using the Kard ask for seating at Table 93 or a nearby table.

If the second show is not a sellout your ticket may be good for seating at both the 6pm and 830pm sets although you may have to move to another table if your original table has sold out for the 2nd set. The staff will let you know.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This performance may sell out prior to the date of the show. Signing up for the Meetup DOES NOT reserve a ticket. You must get your ticket seperately using the process described above. Expecting to purchase a ticket at the door may not be a good idea. Signing up for a Meetup at Keystone Korner is an indication you wish to gather with a group of folks who have separately prepaid or paid at the door and wish to sit together.

Metetred street parking on every street, $5 flat daily weekend rate parking at 501 South Eden St. garage two blocks from Keystone Korner, parking garage across Eden St. from KK with unknown significantly higher rates.
