This month at The Cooler we have the return of the amazing Jiannis Pavlidis, as he brings his organ quartet featuring world-class drummer Luke Flowers. The band plays music by Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter among others, with grooves provided by Martin Longhawn on the mighty Sela organ!
