Live Jazz Tuesday: Jay Sanders, Will Boyd, Zack Page & Alan Hall
2026-12-22 19:00 - 22:00 | Little Jumbo, 241 Broadway St, Asheville, NC, 28801
Sanders, Boyd, Page & Hall distill the pure essence of improvisational expression, converging as alchemists of sound, transmuting musical elements into their most essential forms. This quartet embodies the philosophical concept of quintessence—the fifth element beyond earth, air, fire, and water—representing the fundamental substance from which all musical reality springs.

Their original compositions crystallize the essential qualities of diverse influences, oscillating between through-composed musical themes, groove-based soul explorations, traditional jazz-influenced pieces, Americana-inspired peaceful melodicism, world music influences, free jazz adventures, and occasional forays into cacophonous noise music. Through years of improvisational study, they’ve learned to access that rarefied space where genres dissolve into pure creative energy.
In this musical laboratory, Sanders’ guitar becomes a conduit for universal vibration, Boyd’s reeds channel the breath of consciousness itself, Page’s bass provides the fundamental frequency of existence, while Hall’s percussion creates the rhythmic heartbeat of the cosmos.

Will Boyd – Sax, Flute, Clarinet, EWI
Zack Page – Acoustic & Electric Bass
Alan Hall – Drums
Jay Sanders – Guitar and Effects

Every Monday and Tuesday, Little Jumbo brings live jazz to your ears. littlejumbobar.com
“Simply put, Little Jumbo should be at the top of your list of places for cocktails in Asheville. The drinks and service are both top-notch, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a relaxed speakeasy, without a trace of the pretention that can sometimes be found in such places.” ~ The SmokyMountains.com Local Expert Team
