MEREDITH — The Loft at Hermit Woods Winery & Sweet Mercy’s Kitchen will host the Wilson/Kobrenski Quartet featuring Mike Sakash & Tim Gilmore on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. for an evening of boundary-blending music that merges the rhythms of West Africa with the harmonic sophistication of jazz and contemporary improvisation.
Dave Kobrenski is a multi-instrumentalist who has spent two decades exploring and sharing the musical traditions of West Africa. Jed Wilson is known for his fluidity across genres — from folk to free improvisation.
Mike Sakash brings technical mastery and soulful expression to the ensemble. With advanced degrees from the University of Massachusetts and the Eastman School of Music, Sakash’s career has spanned teaching, arranging, and performing across the country. Tim Gilmore rounds out the quartet with a dynamic blend of precision and groove. A veteran performer with credits including Lester Bowie, Marion McPartland, and Tower of Power, Gilmore has appeared with ensembles from the Cape Ann Symphony to the Harry Skoler Jazz Quartet, and brings decades of rhythmic experience to the stage
