Honolulu Jazz Quartet's John Kolivas on Classical Pacific

Hawaiʻi Public Radio's Live from the Atherton Jazz Performance Series kicks off Saturday, June 7, with the Honolulu Jazz Quartet. Bassist John Kolivas and Classical Pacific host Sharene Taba discuss Kolivas' musical journey before forming the quartet 24 years ago — from Punahou School to New York’s jazz and Broadway scenes, and back to Hawaiʻi to raise a family and perform with the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra.

The Honolulu Jazz Quartet is John Kolivas (bass), Tim Tsukiyama (sax), Dan Del Negro (piano) and Noel Okimoto (drums). Honolulu Jazz Quartet will present a night of jazz and the stories behind the music.
