Led by co-founders Rob DeBoer and Tony Grace, Toronto-based Four80East return again to the Exodus To Jazz series on Saturday, October 18th at the Zeppa Auditorium at German House. Since their first release in 1997, Rob DeBoer and Tony Grace of Four80East have created music that has kept the band a mainstay on contemporary jazz radio and touring circuits, and in five subsequent releases. They will be joined by saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa and guitarist Matt Marshak. 

Paradigm Shift will be opening for Four80East with their signature soul jazz groove. Paradigm Shift is guitarist Mel Henderson, keyboardist Gerry Youngman bringing that B3 sound, and Sean Jefferson holding it down on drums. Paradigm Shift maintains an active national and international touring schedule, as well as playing throughout the Rochester area (as readers will see several times recently at which yours truly was present).
