Après Jazz: Quartz Alley Combo

Take a break from the slopes and settle in for Après Jazz, a free winter music series featuring jazz artists from across Colorado. Enjoy an evening of live music, cocktails made with local spirits, and rotating artwork in the Center’s Kinder Padon Gallery. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day on the mountain and ease into an evening in town. Based in Gunnison, Quartz Alley Combo brings an adventurous approach to improvisational jazz, moving between swing, Latin, funk, cool jazz, and bebop. Expect a mix of familiar standards, nostalgic favorites, and original compositions, with plenty of room for spontaneous twists, creative interplay, and a little musical mischief. 2027 Après Jazz Series
