The Velvet Note Continues to Bring Top-Notch Entertainment

The Hibbard Wright Project at The Velvet Note: Atlanta-based Grammy Award- winning saxophonist Mace Hibbard has been leading and recording with a formidable quintet for the past 10 years while over that same period, Roswell-based guitarist Trey Wright has led the 4-piece Athens/Atlanta-based Squat jazz band and is now leader of his own trio. What they both have in common is a creative rhythm section of bassist Marc Miller and drummer Marlon Patton. On the self-titled The Hibbard/Wright Project, both men leave their respective groups behind and join forces with the rhythm section they share, forming an all new quartet for this outing. Showtimes: 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. 4075 Old Milton Parkway, Alpharetta.
