About
The Paul Asaro Quartet, featuring pianist and vocalist Paul Asaro alongside saxophonist and clarinetist Natalie Scharf, is renowned for delivering swinging and danceable music from the late 1920s through the mid-1940s. Their performances are deeply influenced by stride piano masters like Fats Waller, Willie "The Lion" Smith, and James P. Johnson, as well as early swing innovators such as Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, and Lester Young. The quartet has been a regular act at Chicago's Hungry Brain, with performances scheduled for October 24, 2025, and March 7, 2026.
