Heidi Schmidt is Artist in Residence with the great saxophonist Wil Swindler, performing together as the Schmidt-Swindler quintet. This magical combination features unique arrangements of both jazz standards and great tunes that are less frequently heard.

As this great club says, “Nocturne is delighted present an exciting new collaboration between singer Heidi Schmidt and saxophonist Wil Swindler Friday nights throughout the month of May. This talent filled duo will be joined by Victor Mestas on piano, Jill Frederickson on drums, and a number of special guests on bass (Kim Bird, Matt Smiley and Erik Applegate). The programming for the series is focused on select standards that feature Heidi’s sublime vocal interpretations and Wil’s earnestly bouncing and virtuosic alto playing.”
