He lived in Manhattan during the 1980’s, and received a music degree from L.I.U. while performing and teaching in the New York area. His musical interests encompass jazz, classical, pop/rock and world music. He currently performs around the San Diego area with a variety of groups. He enjoys putting his own take on tunes that are not traditionally thought of as “jazz”. Dave Millard is a unique instrumentalist, with the ability to play fluently on almost any instrument he picks up. He currently counts flute, guitar, cello, saxophone and percussion as his “main” instruments (!) Adam and Dave first met in 1978, when Dave was playing the shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute) in an impromptu concert on the beach. They have been playing together since then, in many different group configurations. Dave Marr is a stellar musician and bassist; he studied at the Berklee School of Music and played gigs for many years in New York, Chicago, Europe, South America, and the San Diego area. Charles McPherson, the local saxophone legend, included Dave in many performances. His particular love in music is that special era of jazz from the mid-50’s to the late 60’s, when so many of our country’s jazz masters were at their peak. Barry Farrar comes from a musical family in San Diego- his father, Barry Farrar Senior, had a big band for many years in the area that included many outstanding players. Barry followed his father into jazz, and has played with many of San Diego’s finest musicians, as well as fronting his own groups. The earthy swinging grooves of Art Blakey are just one of his important inspirations. Collectively, this quartet boasts well over 150 years of jazz performances. It would be hard to calculate how many gigs this represents! (Free CD to the person providing the best estimate.) Visit Coronado Public Library on Facebook + Instagram + @CPL92118 on Twitter

CONCERT ATTENDEES MUST BE VACCINATED & MASKS MUST BE WORN INDOORS. In 1996, after fifteen years of performing as a solo guitarist, Peter Pupping scheduled a performance at a local coffee shop with then long-time guitar student William Wilson. Peter and William joined forces for this “one time event” and planned an evening of classical, Spanish, and flamenco guitar. Adding a bass player and Latin percussion for this special event produced an overwhelming response. Peter decided to permanently form a quartet that specialized in Latin music but also had a broad range of expertise in many styles. Since then, the quartet has performed throughout Southern California, the Midwest, and Hawaii. The band consists of Peter Pupping and William Wilson on guitars, Jeff Basile (aka Jeff Pekarek) on upright bass, and Roy Gonzales on percussion. Due to an injury, William Wilson will not be performing at this concert. Trumpet player Sidd Basile (Jeff Basile’s son) will join the quartet, adding an interesting new sound to the well-established group. The quartet is very versatile and has an eclectic repertoire spanning centuries of classic art music, world music, jazz, and pop styles. San Diego native Kenneth Bender has been a classical guitar teacher and performer for eighteen years. He has performed solo, and in small and large groups. He has studied with many virtuoso guitarists including Christopher Parkening, during his time at Pepperdine. He will open the concert with some thrilling Spanish guitar pieces.
