Fifth Element Jazz Quintet

Experience an evening of profound musicality as the award-winning Fifth Element quintet returns to the historic Jazz Lounge. In classical thought, the four elements are earth, water, air, and fire. For this ensemble, the “fifth element” is the spirit of jazz itself—captured in every note of their original arrangements. Drawing from the Great American Songbook, Fifth Element delivers a masterclass in versatility, spanning swing, soulful ballads, Latin rhythms, and hard bop. Their performance is a heartfelt celebration of the legacy of founder and arranger Dave Coules (1953–2025), whose brilliant musical vision continues to live on through the band’s signature sound. The Ensemble: Nina Richmond — Vocals Jack Gelbloom — Piano Ron Johnston — Bass Glenn Anderson — Drums Kurt Lund — Woodwinds Join us for an accessible and engaging journey through the golden era of jazz, reimagined with contemporary brilliance within our candlelit, historic walls.
