One of the newer music venues in town is hosting a great jazz quartet this Thursday evening, October 4th with the Pete Mills Quartet.

As a sideman he appears on over a dozen CDs including those by guitarist Stan Smith, saxophonist Chad Eby, the eclectic ensemble Madrugada, the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, the Paul Ferguson Jazz Orchestra and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.
