We are thrilled to welcome back to the Nocturne stage a Denver favorite, pianist and composer Jack Dunlevie and his Quintet, as they present a curated series of original music. Inspired by legendary composers of the American Songbook such as Jimmy Van Heusen, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, and Jerome Kern, Jack has delved into the fertile and deceptively challenging craft of the American Standard. Though no stranger to songwriting and having made a career in the study and performance of Standards, this project- setting out to write a body of work in the idiom of the American Songbook- is a marriage of separate worlds for him. Working within these parameters Jack has developed an original book of songs that promises a fresh take on familiar territory. Jack will be joined by a prodigious lineup of local musicians: Daryl Gott (alto saxophone), Adam Gang (tenor saxophone), Seth Lewis (bass), and Braxton Kahn (drums).

Jack Dunlevie is a Denver-based pianist, mandolinist, vocalist, and composer. He graduated in 2015 from the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver winning awards in composition and recital performance. Performing full time around Colorado and touring nationally he can be heard playing Jazz, Classical, Salsa, and Bluegrass with a variety of bands both as a side man and as a leader.
