Sunday, November 9th, 2025 Robert Rutledge Quintet

Robert Rutledge Quintet is a jazz ensemble driven by melody, groove, and fearless improvisation. Robert Rutledge Quintet has soul-inflected harmonies and contemporary rhythms, shaping music that’s as heady as it is heart-forward. Expect sleek horn lines, textures that glitter and grind.

With vivid originals that are reimagined harmonized blues with fresh color. Onstage, Quintet moves like a single organism—quick call-and-response, hand-in-glove dynamics and the kind of risk-taking that comes from trust. One tune might build from a whisper to a skyline; the next might lock into a propulsive groove that leaves room for sly quotes and unexpected turns.

Whether you’re a lifelong jazz listener or a new ear chasing energy and story, the Robert Rutledge Quintet delivers a set that resonates beyond the last chord—smart, soulful, and deeply alive in the moment.
